Step 1:
How to make Peking cabbage salad with cucumber and egg? First of all, boil the eggs. To do this, fill them with cold water and put them on fire. Bring to a boil and cook in boiling water over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Then drain the hot water and fill the eggs with cold water. Leave them to cool.
Step 2:
For the salad, take fresh Peking cabbage. Remove the upper, weathered sheets from it and thinly chop it.
Step 3:
Wash the cucumber, remove the tails and cut it into cubes.
Step 4:
In a salad bowl, combine sliced cucumbers with Peking cabbage. Peel the cooled eggs from the shell, cut them and add them to the salad bowl.
Step 5:
Rinse the green onion feathers in running water and blot a little with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Chop the green onion and add it to the salad.
Step 6:
Season the salad with a small amount of mayonnaise and mix well. Let the salad stand in the refrigerator for a while to cool down. Before serving, transfer the salad to a salad bowl. Bon appetit!

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.

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.

If you urgently need to prepare a snack or a light salad, then such a salad can always come to the rescue. It will take very little time to prepare it, and there are almost always products for its preparation in the refrigerator.
If you need a more satisfying and nutritious salad, then you can add boiled chicken breast or smoked chicken meat to it. And for the appearance of an unusual fruit flavor, you can supplement the salad with orange slices.
Peking cabbage is great for making light dietary salads. It is juicy and delicate in taste, rich in various vitamins. Dishes from it will suit all family members.
Instead of mayonnaise, a ready-made salad can be seasoned with sour cream or olive oil with lemon juice.
This salad is a great addition to lunch or dinner. And every day you can prepare a salad with a new taste, just replacing any ingredient.
Cook with pleasure!
