• marinated champignons whole from a jar
• 2 medium onions
• 3 chicken eggs
• medium cucumber
• about 200 grams of hard cheese
• 1 pack of mayonnaise
• handful of walnuts
• a glass of Korean carrots
• 3 medium pitted olives
• bunch of lettuce leaves
• Salt and a little pepper

Preparation:

1. Boil chicken fillet in salted water, cool and cut into not very large cubes.

2. Boil the eggs and grate them coarsely.

3. Peel the onions and chop finely.

4. Wash the cucumber and cut into small strips. You can, of course, grate it, but then too much juice will come out and the mushy cucumber will not work in this salad.

5. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

6. Grind the walnuts very well; you can put them in a blender and pepper them.

7. Leave a few mushrooms for decoration, and finely chop the remaining champignons and fry in butter.

8. Even this amount of food will make a rather large hedgehog, so take a larger plate, lay lettuce leaves on the bottom and form the silhouette of a hedgehog by laying out the layers in turn: chicken - a layer of mayonnaise - onions - more mayonnaise - mushrooms - a layer of mayonnaise - eggs - again mayonnaise - cucumber - grated walnuts - cheese - mayonnaise.

9. Cover the body of the hedgehog with Korean carrots, leaving the face cheesey. Make the eyes and nose from olives, spread the greens around and plant mushrooms on top of the “needles.”

I recommend this dish for a holiday. It seems to me that the Hedgehog salad is a purely male recipe, but if you remove the pepper, it will also suit children. A very charming animal for the center of the holiday table. And it’s better to make mayonnaise yourself, for your own health!
