Then both the potatoes and the cucumbers need to be cut into small cubes. Next comes the turn of the honey mushrooms: they need to be thrown into a colander (to drain excess liquid), and then cut into the same small cubes. Then you need to wash the green onions and chop them finely. Then you need to mix all the resulting ingredients in a salad bowl, salt, season and mix well. That's it - about half an hour, and a delicious dish is ready. By the way, this salad is lighter and a little more exotic than the classic one, so it is even easier to diversify your home menu.

When the juice from the champignons boils away, you need to pour 1.5-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil on them and season with salt. After this, the mushrooms need to be fried for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
