Salads of this type — with fresh herbs and vegetables — are not stored for a long time, vegetables let juice, and the greens fade quickly. Therefore, they are served immediately to the table. And fill with sour cream just before serving. Keep this in mind when cooking.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

Salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

Sour cream can be replaced with natural yogurt without additives.
