Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad with chicken, peas, egg and cucumber? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this. As chicken meat, you can use breast fillet or leg fillet. Chicken can be boiled, fried or smoked. I'm going to make a salad of boiled chicken. Cucumbers can be used both fresh and pickled. I'll cook from fresh. Wash them in running water from dirt. Open the jar with peas and drain the liquid from it.
Step 2:
Pre-boil the eggs in boiling water for 7-9 minutes. Then drain the hot water, and fill the eggs with cold water so that they cool down. Chicken breast, also, must be boiled in boiling water for 20-25 minutes. Add a little salt. Then cool the chicken.
Step 3:
Cut the cooled chicken meat into small cubes and transfer it to the bowl in which you will cook the salad.
Step 4:
Cut the cucumbers and add them to the bowl with the chicken along with the peas.
Step 5:
Peel the boiled eggs from the shell and cut them immediately into a bowl.
Step 6:
Season the salad with a small amount of mayonnaise and mix so that the ingredients mix evenly with each other. If desired, you can add some fresh herbs to this salad. Transfer the finished salad to a salad bowl and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
Prepare salads only from fully chilled foods. Cooked from warm, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here

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.
