Fresh cucumber and egg salad

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad from fresh cucumbers and eggs? Prepare your food. I prepared for two servings, so take one more cucumber and egg for each subsequent one. Choose small, pimply cucumbers, they are the most delicious. My eggs are rustic, with a bright yolk, about size C2. Dill would also be suitable as a herb, but I didn’t have it, so I took parsley. But I advise you not to exclude green onions - they give the salad a special taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the eggs thoroughly and boil. 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.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the cucumbers well under running water and then dry. Cut off the ends on both sides. Cut the cucumbers themselves as desired. You can do it in cubes, circles or slices, as I did. The skin, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse the green onion feathers well under running water and dry. I advise you to be sure to dry the greens well before adding them to the salad. Wet greens quickly lose their appetizing appearance and become tasteless. Finely chop the onion.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash parsley or other greens well and dry. Tear leaves from thick stems. (You can use the stems when making broth or add them to other dishes). Finely chop the leaves.

6. STEP 6

   

   Peel the cooled eggs and cut them in the same way as you cut the cucumbers. This will make the salad look neater.

7. STEP 7

   

   Make a gas station. Mix sour cream and mayonnaise. You can use either just sour cream or mayonnaise alone for the salad, depending on your taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place all salad ingredients in one bowl. Dress the salad just before serving - if it sits dressed, the cucumbers will release their juice.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir, place in a salad bowl and serve. Bon appetit!

Salad from the quick and easy category) I needed to quickly prepare a salad for dinner, and this recipe just caught my eye! I took “Chinese” cucumbers; they are not bitter, dense and tasty. I took the eggs from domestic chickens, they are much tastier than store-bought ones, in my opinion. Instead of two, I used four to make the salad larger. Parsley and onions from the garden. Everything is fresh and charged with health) I cut cucumbers and eggs into semicircles. My mayonnaise was cheese, in combination with sour cream it became softer and not so rich. Sprinkle freshly ground pepper on top of the finished salad. The salad turned out to be satisfying and light at the same time. Cucumber slices look appetizing in the sauce, and it’s also very tasty. This wonderful salad went perfectly with potatoes. Thanks for the recipe!

I made a salad from fresh cucumbers and eggs. There were boiled eggs in the refrigerator, so preparing the salad took just a few minutes. Makes a great quick snack. Due to eggs, sour cream and mayonnaise, the salad is quite filling, and cucumber and fresh herbs make it juicy and aromatic. Tasty! Thanks for the recipe, katushafin!
