Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

Step 1:

Here's what you'll need. Boil the eggs, potatoes, and chicken breast ahead of time. I salt the cooking water so I don't have to salt the salad itself.
Step 2:

Pour boiling water over the prunes and let them soak for about 10 minutes.
Step 3:

Slice the mushrooms (fresh or canned).
Step 4:

Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the mushrooms. Season them with salt while frying, or when you layer them into the salad.
Step 5:

Set a ring mold on a plate. Chop the prunes and spread them as the first layer. No mayonnaise here.
Step 6:

Cut the chicken breast as small as you can.
Step 7:

Second layer: chicken, topped with a spread of mayonnaise.
Step 8:

Cut the potatoes into small cubes. Third layer: potatoes, topped with mayonnaise.
Step 9:

Fourth layer: mushrooms. No mayonnaise here.
Step 10:

Cut the eggs into small cubes.
Step 11:

Fifth layer: eggs, topped with mayonnaise.
Step 12:

Sixth layer: hard cheese, grated fine.
Step 13:

Slice the fresh cucumber and arrange it on top to garnish. Alternatively, just grate the cucumber or cut it into strips and pile it in the center. Enjoy! Your Venice salad with prunes and chicken is ready!

Feel free to add or leave out ingredients to suit your taste: swap the prunes for mango; skip the potato layer and fry the mushrooms with onion instead; or use homemade mayonnaise in place of store-bought.
