Step 1:
How to make a salad of fresh cucumbers and eggs? Prepare the products. I cooked for two servings, respectively, take another cucumber and egg for each next one. Pick cucumbers of small size, pimply, they are the most delicious. My eggs are rustic, with a bright yolk, about the size of C2. From the greens, dill is still suitable, but I didn't have it, I took parsley. But I advise you not to exclude green onions — it gives the salad a special taste.
Step 2:
Wash the eggs thoroughly and boil them. 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.
Step 3:
Wash cucumbers well under running water, and then dry them. Cut off their tips on both sides. Cut the cucumbers themselves in an arbitrary way. You can use cubes, circles or slices, as I did. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off.
Step 4:
Rinse the green onion feathers well under running water and dry. I advise you 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.
Step 5:
Wash parsley or other herbs well and dry them. Tear off the leaves from the thick stems. (You can use the stems when cooking broth or add them to other dishes). Finely chop the leaves.
Step 6:
Peel the cooled eggs from the shell and cut in the same way as sliced cucumbers. So the salad will look neater.
Step 7:
Make a refueling. Mix sour cream and mayonnaise. You can use either only sour cream, or one mayonnaise for a salad, look to your liking.
Step 8:
Put all the salad ingredients in one bowl. Season the salad just before serving — if it stays seasoned, the cucumbers will let the juice.
Step 9:
Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir, put in a salad bowl and serve. Bon appetit!

It will be delicious to add young radishes to such a salad.

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

Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
