Step 1:

How do you make a quick nettle and egg salad? Prepare the ingredients. The best time for this salad is early spring, when nettle is at its healthiest and most tender. Be careful - nettle stings, so pick it with gloves on!
Step 2:

Along with the nettle, you'll need pre-boiled eggs, sour cream, parsley, a garlic clove, and salt to taste. You can use your favorite herbs: green onion, sorrel, dill! Wash the picked nettle well.
Step 3:

Then pour boiling water over it and wait 1-2 minutes, no longer, or the nettle will lose its look and nutrients! The boiling water is what takes away the sting.
Step 4:

Then drain the boiling water and squeeze the nettle lightly. If you can, pat it dry with paper towels.
Step 5:

Peel the eggs.
Step 6:

And chop them finely. The way you cut them doesn't matter - do it however you like. Put the chopped eggs in a salad bowl.
Step 7:

Chop the nettle. Add it to the eggs.
Step 8:

Wash and dry the herbs well too, and chop them.
Step 9:

Mince the peeled garlic clove with a knife.
Step 10:

Add the garlic and parsley to the salad bowl.
Step 11:

Dress the salad with sour cream, or with any unrefined vegetable oil, and salt to taste.
Step 12:

Toss - and the salad is ready! Serve it right away, or the greens will release their juices and the salad will lose its appeal. Enjoy!

If you want a wholesome way to add variety to your diet, this salad is perfect! Nettle raises hemoglobin and increases your red blood cell count. In other words, oddly enough, nettle can significantly improve your blood. I add nettle to green borscht, and I tried this salad for the first time - honestly, I was skeptical! But for nothing - it turned out very tasty!
How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep them from cracking, put them in cold water and bring them to a boil over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then cover with cold water and let them cool. The sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
