This delicious dish will take its place of honor on both the festive table and in everyday life. In addition, this salad is so satisfying that it can easily replace the main dish at dinner. Keep this in mind. However, those who sit on a strict diet, salad "White Night" is still contraindicated. There are a lot of fats and proteins in it, although today we will try to cook a less caloric option.
Product selection
We do not give a simple list of ingredients forsalad, and we advise you to approach very carefully the choice of products. After all, in a salad, each component should sound in its own way. Replacing any of them or saving on its quality, you will get a completely different taste. Here is a simple example. On the salad "White Night" it is better to take marinated mushrooms. They should be sour, crispy, without the taste of pepper and bad smell. When picking mushrooms, pay attention to the pickle and the date of manufacture. The water in the jar should be transparent. And they must be manufactured in the autumn of the next year. Here in this case your choice is correct. Do not take a jar in which various mushrooms are mixed. And if you try to replace these mushrooms with domestic ones, you will get a completely different taste of the whole salad. Try for the sake of experiment.
So, the list of products:1 can of marinated mushrooms, onion (2 pieces), raw carrots and 2 boiled potatoes, 300 grams of any kind of meat, 250 grams of cheese of solid varieties. For dressing you need mayonnaise, and for frying onions - vegetable oil. Of course, it is better if the potatoes are young and not friable, and the meat is well-cooked. Cheese should not be taken too salty and sharp. Neutral taste will do. So, let's start cooking.
