Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh mushrooms (such as chanterelles or button mushrooms)
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 100 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by brushing off dirt or rinsing briefly under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Slice the mushrooms thinly and set aside.
Step 3
Peel and finely chop the red onion.
Step 4
In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Sauté the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes, or until they soften and release their moisture. Allow them to cool slightly.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh dill, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to form a smooth dressing.
Step 7
Add the sautéed mushrooms, chopped red onion, and most of the dill to the bowl with the dressing. Mix everything together until the mushrooms are well coated.
Step 8
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with the reserved dill. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or appetizer.
