5. Add the mushrooms to the fried onions and mix.

3. The next layer is fried mushrooms with onions. They also need to be sprinkled with egg yolks.
4. Put chicken fillet on yolks, not forgetting about mayonnaise, and lightly salt.
5. Then lay out the cucumbers and egg whites.
6. Top the salad evenly smeared with mayonnaise, including on the sides.

The recipe for the salad “Birch” can be slightly modified and decorate the dish differently. In this case, prunes are not added, and pickled cucumbers are put. Layers are better laid out in the form of an oval or rectangle, and their order is somewhat different from the previous step-by-step recipe.

How to collect a salad for a beautiful serving:

To begin with, it’s worthwhile to figure out how you want to cook chicken liver. It can simply be boiled, or cut into thin strips and fry with onions in vegetable or butter. Only during cooking do not forget to season the product with salt and pepper.

Grind pickled mushrooms if necessary, chop green onions and parsley (leaving a little for decoration). Grate the cheese, chop the olive and, like with greens, set aside a little for serving.

Now the salad can be collected - put lettuce leaves on a flat dish along the edges, put the liver in the center, seasoning it on top with a mayonnaise net. Next comes the mushroom layer, and again - mayonnaise. Now, at will, corn is added, and a green onion with olives. A layer of mayonnaise, grated cheese, and again a layer of mayonnaise.

The salad is made in the form of birch, with the help of olives and fresh herbs, as is done in the Birch Salad with Chicken according to other recipes.
Interesting cooking advice! In order not to season each layer with salt and spices, they can first be mixed with mayonnaise.

Recipe:

1. First you need to prepare the chicken. As you already noticed, for this recipe we use fillets. It must first be boiled so that it reaches a consistency in which it will seem to melt in the mouth. After that, cut into small parts - it is literally necessary to chop into pieces.
2. Next, let's do prunes. Before proceeding with its further processing, you need to steam it properly. If possible, then the ideal option would be to use canned dried fruit.
3. Now is the time to move on to the cucumbers. We wash and peel the vegetables. Please note that the peel from the cucumbers is removed regardless of the variety - this is what the recipe itself requires. After, we rub the cucumbers on a grater of a large "caliber".
4. The next step is to prepare the eggs, which should be boiled and cut, or also pass through a coarse grater.
5. Peel the onion, remove several layers - this way we get the freshest and juiciest vegetable. After that, finely chop it.
6. As for mushrooms, they also need to be cut into small pieces and fry in a pan with onions. At the same time, it is important not to bring the onion to black so that it does not bitter in the end.
7. For serving and proper serving, it is necessary to use an elongated salad bowl. First we put the prunes on it, then chicken, mushrooms with onions, eggs and the last layer of cucumbers.
8. As a dressing, mayonnaise is used, which is applied to each layer except the last, cucumbers. In parallel, you can season each layer with a small portion of salt.
9. And now the most important step that determines the name of the salad. It consists in the correct layout of prunes. Fruits are laid out in such a way that the final pattern resembles a birch.
10. In order for the salad to be soaked with juice and mayonnaise, it must be put in the refrigerator for 40-60 minutes, covered with cling film. After the specified time can be eaten.
