Salad with tuna, peas, egg and Chinese cabbage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with tuna, peas, egg and Chinese cabbage? Prepare all the products indicated in the recipe. The first step is to boil the eggs. To do this, place them in a saucepan, cover with cold water and place on the stove. After boiling, reduce the heat to moderate and cook the eggs until tender (9-12 minutes). Drain off the hot water and cool the eggs.

2. STEP 2

   

   The recipe uses Chinese cabbage, but I used Iceberg. You can take any salad or tender cabbage. Remove the outer damaged leaves from it and rinse the head of cabbage. Dry the salad with paper towels to remove excess water. Cut the cabbage into thick strips and place in a salad bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse and dry the cucumbers. If the cucumbers have rough peels, they should be cut off. Cut the cucumbers into thin circles or half circles, as you prefer. Send to lettuce leaves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Use a fork to lightly crush the canned tuna to form medium-sized pieces. Place the fish in the next layer in a salad bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion, rinse and cut thinly into semicircles or feathers. Red or white lettuce onions are perfect. You can also use shallots.

6. STEP 6

   

   Drain liquid from canned peas. Place peas in salad. You can use fresh or frozen peas instead of canned peas.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the eggs into medium-sized cubes. To make the salad more appetizing and look beautiful on the table, I chopped one egg into cubes and cut the second into slices. Place the egg in a salad bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour olive or refined vegetable oil over the salad. I had tuna in oil, so I used the remaining oil from the jar for the salad. Rinse the greens, dry and chop finely. Dill or parsley are good for salad. Salt the finished dish to taste, pepper and add your favorite seasonings if desired. I used ground red paprika and a pinch of dried thyme. If desired, sprinkle the salad with squeezed lemon juice.

9. STEP 9

   

   The salad is ready, ready to serve! Mix all ingredients well before use.

I really liked the salad and decided to buy a can of tuna. I made a salad with tuna, peas, egg and Chinese cabbage very quickly, I liked the ease of preparation. Made it for a light dinner for two. The salad turned out very tasty and beautiful, laying it out in layers is a wonderful idea! I used Chinese cabbage, which I cut into thin strips, white salad onions, chose green onions from the greens and replaced the peas with canned corn due to the lack of green peas at that time. It turned out, I think, no worse. All the ingredients go perfectly with this salad. For the dressing, I also took canned oil. I bought tuna pieces in salad oil, 180 grams in a jar. I didn’t add salt to the salad, since the tuna was salty enough and that was enough for me. I just lightly peppered it with freshly ground black pepper and sprinkled a little lemon juice, which gave a wonderful taste to the salad. But I didn’t mix all the ingredients before serving, I served the salad with tuna, peas, egg and Chinese cabbage for dinner on a platter, beautifully laid out in layers. Incredibly appetizing, tasty and juicy salad with tuna, I really liked it, I put it in my piggy bank) I recommend it!
