150 g potatoes
150 g frozen or fresh mushrooms (tastier, of course, with wild mushrooms)
150 g carrots
1 egg
small onion
mayonnaise

vegetable oil
If you are preparing a salad with smoked breast, add more grated cheese
If you need to make several plates with salads, multiply the ingredients by the number of salads.
Salad recipe:
Boil potatoes and carrots until tender. Cool, clean.
If we use fillet, boil until cooked (boil the turkey for about 20-25 minutes after boiling). Cool.
Finely chop the mushrooms.
Finely chop the onion.
Fry the onion in vegetable oil.
Add mushrooms, add salt, and fry until tender (about 15 minutes).
Grate the potatoes on a fine grater.
Grate the carrots on a fine grater.
Finely chop the poultry meat.
Grate the eggs on a fine grater.
Place carrot-shaped potatoes on a plate. Add a little salt and spread with mayonnaise.
Next, place layers on top of the potatoes:
mushrooms (you don’t need to grease them with mayonnaise).
poultry fillet (salt a little, grease with mayonnaise).
eggs (brush with a little mayonnaise).
carrot.
Place the dill like the tail of a carrot.
You can use a knife to make grooves on the carrots for greater resemblance.
If this salad is intended as a children's dish, naturally, there can be no question of any smoked breast - only boiled chicken or turkey, and it is better to make homemade mayonnaise, without preservatives.
If the salad is intended to be served to adults, with smoked breast and cheese, the taste of the salad is much piquant and richer.

The “Carrot” salad was named so for good reason, because it looks exactly like everyone’s favorite and healthy root vegetable. Since the carrot itself has a simple shape, even a novice cook can bring the idea to life. By the way, the filling under the salad shell can be very different; in this recipe we use boiled chicken meat, prunes, chicken eggs and hard cheese. It is important that the ingredients are in harmony with each other and with the carrot “shell” itself - then the salad will turn out delicious.
This salad can be prepared both on an ordinary day and for a holiday: New Year, Easter, birthday.

How to cook with photos step by step
Chicken eggs, carrots and chicken need to be boiled. The chicken must be in a separate pan, and the water must be salted and spices added - the meat will turn out tastier. Peel the hard-boiled eggs and grate them on a fine or coarse grater. 
Grate any type of hard cheese on a fine grater. It is better to take cheese that is slightly salty or salty, but not sweet or bland. A savory, spiced cheese would also work well. 
Boiled carrots need to be peeled and grated on a fine grater - you will get carrot puree, which will be convenient to distribute over the surface of the salad. 
For the Carrot salad, it will be more convenient to take chicken fillet or breast, but any part of the chicken will also work. After boiling the bird, cool it and separate the meat from the bones, cut into small pieces. 
It is better to soak prunes in warm water if they are dry. Then cut the dried fruits into small cubes. 
Take a suitable salad dish. Place pieces of meat in the shape of a cone at the very bottom - this is the basis for the carrots. Lightly coat with mayonnaise. 
Place grated chicken eggs in the next layer and make a mayonnaise layer. 
Carefully place pieces of prunes on top of the eggs. There is no need for a mayonnaise mesh here. 
Now the next step is grated hard cheese; it may crumble when preparing the salad, so you can use a more simplified option - mix the cheese with mayonnaise and put the mixture on top of the salad. 
The last layer is grated boiled carrots. Spread it evenly and in a thin layer. 
Score the top of the lettuce, just like a real carrot. Make a carrot tail out of the green onion feathers. Let the salad sit in a cool place for about an hour or two. Bon appetit!
