Step 1:

None of the ingredients gets cooked, so let's not waste time — let's get started. I began with the dressing. Once the cucumber is sliced, it can quickly release juice and end up looking soggy and tasting less than great. Sure, you can dress it the classic way, with mayonnaise or sour cream — and you will, if you don't feel like trying a new flavor. I combined oil, salt, and spices.
Step 2:

Cut the boiled sausage. In what shape? Whatever you like. I decided to break from convention: I sliced the sausage thinly, then cut it into thin strips.
Step 3:

I did the same with the cheese, cutting it to roughly match the sausage.
Step 4:

Two basic components are in play. But to keep them company, let's add other bright, pleasant ingredients. Cut the bell pepper into thin strips too.
Step 5:

If you don't have leek, no problem — use a regular onion, but soak it first in a mix of water and vinegar (7:1). Cut it thinly.
Step 6:

Now that all the ingredients are in the bowl, you can cut the fresh cucumber. I cut mine into strips like this.
Step 7:

Combine everything in the bowl.
Step 8:

Stir and pour over the dressing — there's just enough for this amount of ingredients.
Step 9:

Chop the green onion and dress the salad. Add salt if you like, but I think the cheese and spices give it enough kick.

A few more tips: you can add all sorts of ingredients to the base, and the salad will taste and look different every time. Use any sausage you like — boiled or smoked. The cucumbers should be fresh, but for variety you can use pickled ones, or a mix of fresh and pickled. Adjust the quantities and proportions as you please. Remember that a salad like this should be cut and dressed only right before serving. The dressing can vary — from mayonnaise and sour cream to lovely blends of olive oil with various spices and herbs.
