It is a holiday season. In slavic world rare holiday table will go by without tons of salads, actually none will.
This is why I will try to focus on salad recipes these couple of week (as much as I can, during with my vacation to Ukraine).
This salad recipe calls for just few ingredients: chicken, mushrooms, eggs and mayo are main ingredients. And there is no onions or garlic, which makes this salad a good choice for lunch on a go.
Ingredients:
- 1lb of boneless skinless chicken breast
- 12oz of mushrooms
- 4-5 eggs
- 4-5oz of shredded cheese (I used italian blend)
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Salt to taste

- 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
