Step 1:

How do you make a simple salad with salted salmon? Gather the ingredients. First, boil and cool the eggs. How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, put them in cold water and set them over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then cover with cold water and cool. The sharp temperature change makes them easier to peel. I used red onion, but a regular onion will do too.
Step 2:

While the eggs cook, start cutting up all the ingredients. Pick the bones out of the fish (if there are any) and cut it into medium cubes. Choose lightly salted fish - it tastes more delicate. Home-salted fish works well. Any type of fish will do, but it tastes better with fattier kinds - salmon, trout, coho salmon.
Step 3:

Peel the cucumbers if needed and also cut them into medium cubes. If the skin isn't tough, damaged, or bitter, you don't need to peel it. Be sure to taste it before cutting; if the cucumber is bitter, use a different one, or the salad will be ruined.
Step 4:

Cut the onion half into small cubes. Since mine is a sweet variety, I just chopped it. If you used a regular onion, scald it with boiling water to get rid of the bitterness.
Step 5:

Peel the eggs and cut them into cubes the same size.
Step 6:

Mix all the ingredients together, add mayonnaise, and salt and pepper if you like, then mix. The salad is ready - you can serve it.
Step 7:

Or shape it with a food ring. Enjoy!

I used mayonnaise as the dressing, but if for some reason it doesn't suit you, you can dress it with sour cream mixed with a teaspoon of mustard. Help yourself!
The salad looks neat and pretty if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (cubes, for example).
Make salads only from fully chilled ingredients. A salad made from warm ones can spoil quickly.
It's better to make the mayonnaise yourself - it'll be tastier and healthier. See some interesting homemade mayonnaise recipes here. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt as a dressing instead of just mayonnaise. Use them on their own or mix them with mayonnaise in any proportion you like - this lowers the calorie count of the dish.
