Cucumber tomato egg salad

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad of cucumber, tomato and egg? Prepare the products. You can take any salad — iceberg, arugula, romano, frieze, etc. will do. I took a regular sheet. Instead of large tomatoes — a few cherry tomatoes. Pre-boil the eggs and cool them. Take the greens to taste, I have parsley. Wash and dry the vegetables.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash the lettuce leaves and dry them well with a paper towel. This is important to do, as excess moisture will spoil the salad.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the cucumber into rings. Be sure to try it, whether it is bitter — such a fruit will spoil the taste of the dish. The skin, if it is not rough and not damaged, does not need to be cut off.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cut tomatoes into small pieces. Cherry is enough to cut in half, larger ones into slices.

5. Step 5:

   

   How to cook hard-boiled eggs? To prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking, put them in cold water and put them on a small fire to cook. 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. Cut the peeled eggs into quarters if they are not large, and smaller if they are large. A salad with quail eggs will look especially beautiful.

7. Step 6:

   

   Take a salad dish (it can be served in a salad bowl, but on a flat plate the salad looks more beautiful). Tear the lettuce leaves to the bottom. It is important to do this with your hands, not with a knife, because from contact with metal, lettuce will quickly oxidize and wither.

8. Step 7:

   

   Put the slices of cucumbers and tomatoes on the salad.

9. Step 8:

   

   Spread the egg pieces on top. Also, tear the greens with your hands and spread them over the salad.

10. Step 9:

    

    Randomly arrange sour cream between the egg pieces. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Immediately serve it to the table — salads from fresh vegetables and herbs do not stand for a long time, since juice is released from them. Bon appetit!
