Christmas Tree-Needles Salad

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To begin with, in this case, we will remove all the liquid from the mushroom jar, squeeze them out a little and send them to the frying pan on a slightly higher than average heat and no! first of all, evaporate all the water from the mushrooms and only after that you can add oil and fry them. If you use fresh ones, then cut them not quite finely and send them to a hot frying pan with vegetable oil, immediately salt them, salt will help the mushrooms get rid of the remaining liquid inside.

2. Step 2:

   

   While the mushrooms are being fried, let's do the rest of the ingredients. We proceed to the beans, if there were no red beans in your pantry - it's not critical, you can use white, but red is usually harder, so in this salad it turns out more interesting. Drain the whole sauce from the beans, rinse and dry a little, after that we send it to a large, beautiful and elegant salad bowl.

3. Step 3:

   

   Let's move on to cheese, it's better to use semi-hard cheeses, because very soft cheese can turn out to be one big lump, and if the mushrooms don't cool down enough when you add them to the salad, then that's it, hold on, you'll definitely eat salad with melted cheese :) Take semi-hard cheese and rub it on a large grater, cheese is the basis of this salad, so do not spare it and do not take the worst. Grated cheese - add to the salad bowl.

4. Step 4:

   

   Mushrooms, beans, cheese, of course there was garlic, grate a few cloves of garlic on a fine grater in a salad bowl. Do not replace fresh garlic with dry garlic in any case, if you do not have fresh garlic, then run to the store soon!)

5. Step 5:

   

   Let's fill the salad with mayonnaise whatever you like, to taste, of the recent good ones I would like to mention it seems "makheev" with dried tomatoes, well, very tasty mayonnaise and complements any salads very well. Mix the salad well.

7. Step 6:

   

   I answer your question - no, I did not forget about the mushrooms, they just cool down so that they can be added to the salad, otherwise, as mentioned above, the cheese will float and the salad will not be a salad at all. The mushrooms have cooled down - add to the salad bowl and mix.

8. Step 7:

   

   Let's get down to the New Year's part, to the submission! I used a menagerie from the fix price store, very healthy and not expensive, we will put the salad in it in one even layer and slightly flatten it so that everything is on the same level, without bumps.

9. Step 8:

   

   Next, we spread the crackers, crunch the baguette perfectly, they are ideal with a cheese platter, they are not hard that you break your teeth, but soft and tender.

10. Step 9:

    

    And now let's tear off the dill twigs, wash them, shake off all the water and spread it out so that we get these cute Christmas tree twigs. Well, what kind of Christmas tree without toys? To decorate the Christmas tree, use pomegranate seeds, an inexpensive and simple option, well, if you want something more interesting, then replace the pomegranate with red caviar, bon appetit and happy New Year!
