Mushroom salad

I guess mushroom salad is not that common in other countries than it is in Finland, Eastern Europe and Russia. In this recipe I have taken some ideas from Russia adding some pickled cucumber in it.

The ingredients are so easy.

3-4 dl salted woolly milkcaps

½ onion

1 dl of leek

2 dl crème fraiche

1 dl pickled cucumber

Pepper

(salt)

Let the salted woolly milkcaps to be in plenty of cold water over night. This will decrease the amount of salt in the mushrooms. If you want saltier taste have them less time in the water.

You can also enjoy the
salad as such :)

When starting to make the salad squeeze the water out from the mushrooms and chop the mushrooms in small pieces. Also chop the onion, leek and pickled cucumber. Mix all together with crème fraiche. Season with pepper (and with salt depending on how salty the mushrooms were).

Here I think also capers could work instead of pickles.

Serve the salad with meat and mashed potatoes or then just on top of piece of rye bread.
