Cooking method
-
Step 1:
How do you make a salad with sausage and fresh cucumbers? Start by boiling the eggs. Cover them with cold water and bring to a boil, then cook in the boiling water for 9 minutes. Drain, cover the eggs with cold water, and let them cool. Peel the boiled eggs. Rinse the cucumbers and trim the ends off both sides.

Step 2:
Peel the casing off the sausage and cut it into small cubes. Put the diced sausage into a salad bowl. In place of semi-smoked sausage, you can use pork loin, ham, any smoked meat, or chicken.
-
Step 3:
Cut the fresh cucumbers into medium cubes (about the same size as the sausage) and add them to the bowl with the sausage.
-
Step 4:
Cut the peeled eggs with a knife or an egg slicer.
-
Step 5:
Wash the green onion and dill well, pat dry, and finely chop. Add the chopped herbs to the bowl.
-
Step 6:
Dress the salad with a little mayonnaise and mix well. Chill it briefly in the refrigerator. Before serving, transfer the salad to a nice serving bowl and bring it to the table. Enjoy!
- A salad with sausage and fresh cucumbers makes a great tasty, filling snack. The sausage makes it satisfying, while the fresh cucumber keeps it light and juicy. If you like, add extras such as tomatoes, boiled potatoes or carrots, corn, or napa cabbage — each new ingredient gives the salad a fresh twist, so it never gets old.
- The salad looks neat and attractive when all the ingredients are cut into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
- It's best to make your own mayonnaise — it's tastier and better for you. You'll find some great homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt for the dressing, either on their own or mixed with mayonnaise in any ratio you like — that will cut down the calories.
- If the cucumber skin isn't tough, damaged, or bitter, there's no need to peel it.
