Preparing the ingredients Start by preparing all the ingredients. Cut the mini donuts into small cubes, but not too large, so they integrate easily into the salad. The pickled peppers should be cut into thicker slices, and the boiled eggs should be divided into four. Rinse the marinated mushrooms well to remove excess marinade and cut them in half. Crumble the walnut kernels into small pieces to add a pleasant crunch to the salad. 2. Arranging the salad In a serving dish or on a platter, start arranging the ingredients in layers. Our suggestion for the order is as follows: a layer of mini donuts, followed by a layer of eggs, then the slices of pickled peppers, the mushrooms, and finally, the cheese cut into cubes. Continue adding layers until all ingredients are used, making sure to present a platter full of colors and textures at the end. 3. Preparing the sauce In a pan, melt the butter together with the oil over medium heat. Add the flour and continuously stir with a wooden spoon until all the flour dissolves and turns into a smooth paste. This step is crucial, so don't rush! Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to simmer the sauce for 5-7 minutes until it becomes a thick and smooth cream. 4. Finalizing the sauce Remove the sauce from the heat and add the egg yolk, stirring quickly to avoid cooking it. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of salt, taste, and adjust if necessary. Use a whisk to achieve a fine and smooth texture. 5. Final assembly Pour the prepared sauce over the arranged salad. This will bind all the ingredients together and add a delicious creaminess. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled walnuts and the halved marinated mushrooms on top of the salad for an attractive appearance.
