Cooking method

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    To make the salad, I cooked the potatoes (I salted the cooking water), the beets (I added a little sugar to the water — it tastes better that way), and the carrots in their skins. I hard-boiled the eggs. Once the vegetables and eggs had cooled, I peeled them. I separated the eggs into whites and yolks.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    I cut the onion into half-rings and added salt, sugar, and 6% vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar). I mixed everything well and left it to marinate. I didn't marinate it ahead of time — by the time I'd prepped everything for the salad and started assembling it, the onion was ready.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    I mixed the sour cream and mayonnaise into a smooth mass — a mayonnaise dressing. My mayonnaise was homemade; it takes less than a minute to make and tastes much better than store-bought. You can find the homemade mayonnaise recipe at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcckWdFGFLY

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    I cut the potatoes into small cubes — you can grate them on a coarse grater (which is faster). I laid down the potato layer first and spread it with the mayonnaise dressing.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    On the layer of potatoes, I placed boiled sausage cut into small cubes and spread it with the mayonnaise dressing.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    On the boiled sausage, I laid a thin layer of pickled onion and didn't spread any dressing on it. I didn't use all of the onion.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    On the layer of pickled onion, I placed fresh and pickled cucumbers cut into small cubes. I spread it with the mayonnaise dressing.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    On the layer of cucumbers, I placed a layer of boiled carrot, also finely chopped, and spread it with mayonnaise dressing on top.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    On the layer of boiled carrot, I placed a layer of canned green peas and spread it with mayonnaise dressing.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    On the layer of canned green peas, I placed a layer of egg whites, also cut into small cubes, and spread it with mayonnaise dressing.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    On the layer of diced egg whites, I placed a layer of beet, also cut into small cubes, and spread it with mayonnaise dressing on top.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12

    The last layer is egg yolks grated on a fine grater. I covered the salad with them and garnished it with finely chopped green onion. After assembling, it's best to put the salad in the refrigerator so it sets a little and can be cut easily.
