Canned mackerel salad with egg and cucumber

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad of canned mackerel with egg and cucumber? Prepare your food. Choose mackerel from a trusted manufacturer, high quality, it is better if it is without added oil. My cucumbers are very young, small in size. A large one will need one. Boil the eggs first. You can make mayonnaise at home yourself.

2. STEP 2

   

   Open the can of fish and drain all the liquid from it. Remove the fish and place on a flat plate. If you come across large pieces with a large bone, remove and discard it. Small bones are not scary - they are so soft that you won’t feel them. Mash the mackerel with a fork to form small pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash and dry the cucumbers. Cut off the ends. Cut the cucumbers into small cubes. There is another option to grate them, then the salad will be more tender, but the juice will release faster. In this case, it should be cooked right before serving.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil the eggs hard. How to hard boil eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Cut the peeled eggs into the same cubes as the cucumbers. Or grate it if you grated a cucumber.

5. STEP 5

   

   Next, you can simply mix all the ingredients and the salad will be ready. I'll layer it using a serving ring. Place the mashed mackerel as the first layer. Compact it with a special press or spoon. Lubricate a layer of fish with mayonnaise.

6. STEP 6

   

   Next add the chopped cucumbers. Also compact them and coat them with mayonnaise.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the eggs as the last layer. And again a layer of mayonnaise.

8. STEP 8

   

   Carefully remove the ring from the lettuce. And prepare another portion. The quantity of products is designed for just two servings.

9. STEP 9

   

   Garnish the finished salad with herbs and serve. Bon appetit!

For the table today I decided to prepare a salad of canned mackerel with egg and cucumber. I chose it because it is as simple as possible (made from only 3 ingredients, not counting mayonnaise) and fast. I didn’t have mackerel in a jar, so I took iwasi in oil. It turned out delicious too! I don’t have a cooking ring, so I improvised. I took a bucket of store-bought sour cream and asked my husband to cut off the top and bottom. It turned out to be a beautiful ring, albeit with a slight difference in diameter at the top and bottom. I swapped the layers and laid the cucumber on the bottom layer, then fish and egg. Garnished the salad with a sprig of parsley. It looked really good and tasted amazing! I'll take note of the recipe!
