5. Do the same with the beets – cut them into cubes.
6. Chop pickled cucumbers. Cucumbers should not be very sour.
7. Put all the chopped components in a deep container – beets, potatoes, cucumbers, carrots. Also add the fried mushrooms. Salt and pepper the vinaigrette to taste.

If the cabbage fibers are too long, it is better to pre-cut them with a knife.
9. Season the salad with fragrant vegetable oil. Homemade unrefined oil is perfect – it is very odorous.

If you wish, you can replace the green onion with onion, but it is spicier. Green onions are still more tender and piquant.
Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
