Step 1:

How do you make a gourmet salad with chicken and mushrooms? Gather your ingredients. Boil the chicken breast until cooked through, and hard-boil the eggs; let both cool. Drain the canned mushrooms.
Step 2:

Peel the onion, wash it, and chop it finely. Pour boiling water over it to draw out the sharpness (we'll squeeze it out thoroughly before adding it to the salad). Let the mushrooms drain in a colander to shed any excess liquid.
Step 3:

Dice the fresh cucumber and the pickle.
Step 4:

Grate the cheese into a bowl on the medium side of a grater.
Step 5:

Cut up the boiled chicken breast and the mushrooms.
Step 6:

Grate the eggs on the coarse side of a grater.
Step 7:

Put all the prepared ingredients in a bowl, add the mayonnaise (or yogurt or sour cream), and add a little salt if needed.
Step 8:

Mound the salad on a serving dish and garnish — I made a bell pepper flower with arugula leaves. It's best to chill the salad a bit before serving for even better flavor. Enjoy!

Mayonnaise is best made from scratch — it tastes better and is better for you. You'll find some great homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also dress the salad with sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayonnaise, either on their own or blended with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that will lighten up the dish.
How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, place them in cold water and bring it to a gentle boil. Cook the eggs for 9 minutes after the water boils, then drain and cover with cold water to cool. The sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
