Step 1:
How to make a salad Mushroom Basket? Boil the potatoes and eggs. Wash the potatoes from dirt, fill with water and bring to a boil. It is not necessary to clean it beforehand. Cook with the peel - in a uniform, for 15-20 minutes. Then drain the water and cool the potatoes. Fill the eggs with cold water and bring them to a boil. Cook in boiling water for 5-7 minutes. Then drain the hot water, and fill the eggs with cold water so that they cool down.
Step 2:
Boil chicken fillet in boiling water for 20 minutes. Then cool the meat and cut into small cubes.
Step 3:
To prepare this salad, take a deep salad bowl and cover its surface from the inside with cling film. Place the canned champignons all over the bottom with the caps down.
Step 4:
Sprinkle the mushrooms with liberally chopped dill. Instead of dill, you can use any greens.
Step 5:
Grate boiled eggs on a coarse grater and lay out a thick layer, slightly pressing with your hands. Brush a layer of grated eggs with mayonnaise.
Step 6:
Finely chop the remaining champignons and put the next layer on the eggs.
Step 7:
Also add some mayonnaise.
Step 8:
Put the sliced chicken fillet in the third layer and press it with your hands a little so that the layer is more dense and does not fall apart later. Brush the chicken with a little mayonnaise.
Step 9:
The last layer will be potatoes. Peel the boiled potatoes and grate them on a coarse grater. Put the grated potatoes on the chicken and tamp. Leave the finished salad to stand in the refrigerator for a while so that the layers are soaked and cooled.
Step 10:
Before serving, cover the salad bowl with a flat plate and turn it over so that the salad bowl is on top. Remove the salad bowl and remove the plastic wrap from the salad. The finished salad will turn out to be mushrooms on top. Garnish with some herbs and serve. Bon appetit!

In general, the trick of the salad is that mushrooms are laid out on top of the finished form, as if it were a clearing. But the composition of the ingredients can be supplemented or replaced to your liking.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? To prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking, put them in cold water and put them on a small fire to cook. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.
