The salad received this name not only because it is made in the form of a mushroom, but also because it is based on champignons. Mushrooms fried with onions go well with spicy cheese and boiled chicken fillet. Carrots give the dish a bright color and sweetish notes. This rich flavor range is complemented by boiled eggs, which at the same time serve as an element of serving the Mushroom salad. Mayonnaise is used as a dressing.
