Salad with Chicken, Prunes and Mushrooms (New Year's Eve)

by Editorial Staff

Hello everyone! Today I will prepare a salad with chicken, prunes and mushrooms, which has been a favorite of the New Year's table for many years. In general, flaky salads are always popular. They are prepared simply, and there are a lot of cooking options. Such festive salads always look bright and beautiful, and they are eaten first.
