I tried this salad with the beautiful name “White Night” for the first time in a cozy cafe in our city many years ago. At that time, the menus of such establishments were not very diverse, and something new was always in great demand. So I couldn’t resist and tried this salad.

At first I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation - they had never done it in portions and layers at that time. And then I appreciated the taste of this salad - it was simply delicious! It was not difficult to determine what ingredients it included, and the waitress helped me with the sauce, so I took note of the recipe. And then I often prepared it, replacing the usual Olivier salad and herring under a fur coat on the festive table with this new and interesting salad.

Ingredients:

- 100 grams of pickled champignons;
- 1 large potato;
- 1 small carrot;
- 100 grams of chicken fillet;
- 1 onion;
- vegetable oil for frying onions;
- 50 grams of hard cheese;
- 2 tbsp. mayonnaise;
- 2 tbsp. sour cream;
- greens for decoration.

Step-by-step recipe with photos:

For this salad we need marinated champignons. These are now sold in all stores, but it will be tastier and cheaper to make them yourself at home. Cut the mushrooms into slices. And place it on a flat plate in a circle.

Cut the onion into half rings. Fry in a frying pan in a small amount of vegetable oil over low heat. We want the onion to brown until golden, become transparent, but under no circumstances burn. Place the onion on a plate and wait a few minutes for it to cool.

Place the fried and cooled onions on top of the mushrooms.

Mix mayonnaise and sour cream. The result is a very delicate and tasty sauce, hotter than just sour cream and softer than mayonnaise. This will be the dressing for our salad. By the way, it is better to prepare mayonnaise, like pickled champignons, yourself - this way it will be much healthier and tastier.

Spread 1/4 of the sauce on the onion. All subsequent layers of sauce (there will be three more) should be approximately the same in volume.

Boil potatoes in their jackets. Cool and grate on a coarse grater.

We spread the potatoes as the next layer of our salad. Well, on top, as you probably already guessed, there is a layer of sauce.

We also boil the carrots, cool and three, like potatoes. On a coarse grater.

We spread it as a layer of salad, then don’t forget about the sauce.

The next ingredient is boiled chicken breast. We cut it into small cubes.

And put it in a layer in the salad. And the sauce, of course, where would we be without it!

Three hard cheeses on a medium grater.

And sprinkle the White Night salad on top. This will be its top.

You can leave the salad in this form, decorating it with herbs.

Or you can grease the sides with sauce and sprinkle with additional grated cheese. You have to decide for yourself which presentation you like best; I like both of them.






It will look original on the holiday table and

When there is nothing tasty in the refrigerator, many people may feel depressed. Today we will fight this situation and prepare the White Night salad. This delicious dish will take its place of honor both on the festive table and in everyday life. In addition, this salad is so filling that it can easily replace the main dish. Keep this in mind. True, for those who are on a strict diet, the White Night salad is still contraindicated. It is high in fat and protein, although today we will try to prepare a lower-calorie version.

Product selection

We do not give a simple list of ingredients for the salad, but rather advise you to be very careful when choosing products. After all, in a salad, each component should have its own sound. By replacing any of them or saving on its quality, you will get a completely different taste. Here's a simple example. It is better to use pickled mushrooms for the White Night salad. They should be sour, crispy, without any pepper taste or bad smell. When choosing mushrooms, pay attention to the brine and the production date. The water in the jar should be clear. And they should be made in the fall of the next year. In this case, your choice is correct. Do not take a jar in which different mushrooms are mixed. And if you try to replace such mushrooms with homemade ones, you will get a completely different taste of the whole salad. Try it for the sake of experimentation.

So, the list of products: 1 can of pickled mushrooms, onions (2 pieces), raw carrots and 2 boiled potatoes, 300 grams of any type of meat, 250 grams of hard cheese. For dressing you need mayonnaise, and for frying onions - vegetable oil. Of course, it is better if the potatoes are young and not crumbly, and the meat is well cooked. The cheese should not be too salty or spicy. A neutral flavor will do. So, let's start cooking.

Preparing the White Night salad: step-by-step recipe

The salad is not made as quickly as we would like, but it can be prepared in advance. Chop the mushrooms with a knife as much as possible. Chop the onion very finely and fry in vegetable oil. Boiled potatoes must be grated on a coarse grater. We'll do the same with carrots, only we'll grate them smaller. The meat is cut into small cubes. The harder the meat, the smaller the cube. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Everything is prepared to lay out the White Night salad in layers. First mushrooms, then onions, potatoes. Lubricate everything with mayonnaise. Next comes carrots and meat. Another layer of mayonnaise. Sprinkle everything with cheese. It is because of this white powder that the salad bears its name.

Low calorie option

The “White Night” salad, the photo of which you see above, is made less calorie. But it also tastes a little different. So, instead of mayonnaise, take sour cream, add lemon juice and balsamic vinegar to it. This sauce will be similar to mayonnaise. You can add garlic for spiciness. We will not fry the onion, but simply pour boiling water over it and marinate it a little in water and vinegar. For meat, we will take chicken breast, and choose hard cheese with a low fat content. We saved on calories wherever we could. Bon appetit!

We present to your attention a very romantic and easy-to-prepare salad for the White Night festive feast. The ingredients in the salad simply fit together perfectly, creating an extraordinary harmony of taste, tenderness, lightness and leaving a pleasant aftertaste. If you want to surprise your guests, be sure to prepare this salad, they will be delighted.
