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.

  • 4-5 eggs
  • 4-5oz of shredded cheese (I used italian blend)

  • Salt to taste
  • 4 tablespoons of mayo, or more if needed
  • 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
