Chicken salad with beans and mushrooms

A hearty salad with a minimum amount of products. I strongly advise you to add rye crackers with garlic to the salad, they will give the salad a piquant taste. It is better to add crackers just before serving, so that they do not get wet. You can take any mushrooms. I don't like canned champignons, but I love pickled honey mushrooms.

Step 1:
How to make chicken salad with beans and mushrooms? Prepare the ingredients. Pre-boil the chicken until tender in salted water with the addition of bay leaf and allspice. Remove the meat from the broth and cool. Flip the beans into a colander and let the water drain. Also throw the mushrooms into a colander. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half.
Step 2:
Cut chicken fillet into small pieces.
Step 3:
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. I grated cheese on a Korean grater.
Step 4:
In a salad bowl, combine chicken, mushrooms, beans, cheese.
Step 5:
Season the salad with mayonnaise.
Step 6:
Mix well.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting 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.

Note that canned mushrooms are often stored in stores with a violation of the temperature regime (above 25 degrees, especially in summer). This can lead to the development of bacteria that cause severe poisoning and botulism.
Signs of improper storage are: a swollen jar, cloudy marinade, air bubbles rising from the bottom of the jar, the presence of mold and an unpleasant smell. If at least one of the listed signs is detected, it is better not to use such mushrooms at all. If you are sure that the canned mushrooms were stored correctly, then you can use them without frying. In the case when there seem to be no signs, but you doubt it, it is better to fry the mushrooms in vegetable oil until golden brown.
