Step 1:

How do you make a salad with chicken, peas, egg, and cucumber? Gather the ingredients you'll need. For the chicken, you can use breast meat or thigh meat. The chicken can be boiled, fried, or lightly smoked. I'm making this salad with boiled chicken. The cucumbers can be either fresh or pickled; I'm using fresh ones. Rinse them clean under running water. Open the can of peas and drain off the liquid.
Step 2:

Boil the eggs ahead of time in boiling water for 7–9 minutes. Then pour off the hot water and cover the eggs with cold water to cool them. The chicken breast also needs to be boiled, for about 20–25 minutes. Add a little salt. Then let the chicken cool.
Step 3:

Cut the cooled chicken into small cubes and put it in the bowl you'll make the salad in.
Step 4:

Cut up the cucumbers and add them to the bowl with the chicken, along with the peas.
Step 5:

Peel the boiled eggs and chop them straight into the bowl.
Step 6:

Dress the salad with a small amount of mayonnaise and toss so the ingredients are evenly combined. If you like, you can add some fresh herbs. Transfer the finished salad to a serving bowl and serve. Enjoy your meal!

Make salads only from fully chilled ingredients. A salad made from warm ones can spoil quickly.
Always wash your eggs before using them, since even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. It's best to use a food-safe wash and a brush.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself—it'll be tastier and healthier. See some great homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use not just mayonnaise as a dressing but sour cream or plain yogurt. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any ratio you like—it'll cut the calories.
