The proposed salad received this funny name for the composition of the products used for its preparation. Sauerkraut, pickled mushrooms, crispy pickles are pickles that form the basis of the dish. In addition, boiled potatoes and canned green peas are added to the salad, making the dish quite satisfying. Onions add a tangy flavor to the salad. And the composition of the dish includes one very interesting component – baked cod. The dressing is sunflower oil.
You can replace cod with hake, pike perch or any other white lean fish.
Salad “Coot” will turn out to be no less tasty if you replace champignons with other mushrooms, for example, salted milk mushrooms or pickled chanterelles.
