Salad with tongue and pickled cucumbers

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a salad of tongue with cucumbers? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Eggs need large selected ones. If the eggs are small, take 4 pieces. If cucumbers are large, 2 pieces are enough, if small, then 3 are needed. Instead of lettuce leaves, you can use a ready-made salad mixture.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pre-boil the tongue until tender in water with the addition of a whole peeled onion, bay leaf, salt and allspice. So the tongue will turn out more fragrant and tasty. Remove the skin from the finished tongue. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to cook pork tongues. I usually cook them late at night in a frying pan and leave them on a cooling burner until the morning - so the tongues turn out tender and do not dry out.

   Cool the tongue and cut into small long strips.

   Cut the pickled cucumbers into long thin strips.

   Chop the walnuts finely. You can not add nuts at all, but with them the salad turns out much tastier. Walnuts can be replaced with salted peanuts or other nuts to taste.
