Cook the chicken:
Boil it in salted water or grill it for a more intense flavor. Let it cool, then cut it into cubes or shred it.
Prepare the mushrooms:
Drain the country-style pickled mushrooms well (usually with peppers, carrots, onion) and, if necessary, cut them into smaller pieces.
Wash and dry the green salad:
Coarsely chop the lettuce or valerian. Make sure it is well dried to avoid watering down the mayonnaise.
In a large bowl, mix the chicken, corn, mushrooms, and green salad.
Add the mayonnaise and, if desired, a teaspoon of mustard. Mix until you achieve a creamy and uniform consistency.
Season with salt and pepper. If the mushrooms are already well-seasoned, taste before adding too much salt.
Rest and serve:
Refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes. Serve cold, garnished with a bit of chopped parsley or some whole salad leaves.Enjoy your meal!
📌 Tips
Country-style pickled mushrooms add more flavor and crunchiness compared to plain mushrooms.
You can serve it in individual bowls, bread baskets, or on crostini as an appetizer.
For a milder taste, use light mayonnaise or replace part of it with Greek yogurt.
It can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
