Mushroom salad with walnuts is a refined dish of Russian cuisine, combining the tenderness of fried champignons, the sweetness of prunes, and the crunchy texture of walnuts. This combination of ingredients gives the salad a rich, deep flavor with light caramel notes from dried fruits. Onions and carrots, sautéed to a golden hue, add softness and a sweet spiciness to the salad, while mayonnaise harmoniously unites all components, creating a creamy texture. The origins of this salad trace back to the traditions of Russian cuisine, where the combination of simple and natural ingredients is valued. It is perfect for festive gatherings or cozy family dinners, enhancing the main dish with its rich taste and aroma.
