Home Mixed salads
Salad with chicken and pickled mushrooms is simply a win-win dish. The thing is that although there are a lot of salad recipes containing these ingredients, however, even the presence of just chicken, mushrooms and some kind of dressing is already a kind of dish. And very tasty at that. The thing is that both mushrooms and chicken are not products with a pronounced flavor palette.
You can combine mushrooms and chicken with almost all vegetables, citrus fruits, and cheeses. A separate discussion is about eggs. They are protein in its pure form, just like chicken meat and mushrooms. This is why these two ingredients go best with eggs.
However, don’t delude yourself. Chicken with mushrooms does not go well with any food. So, for example, they should be very carefully combined with sweet foods. For example, sweet apples in a salad with chicken and mushrooms can ruin everything, but prunes do the opposite.
