How to make a salad with beans, cucumber and eggs? Very fast and simple. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use canned beans, either white or red.

Wash the cucumber and dry it. Cut into small cubes. The skin, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.

Step 3

Step 3
Drain all the liquid from the canned beans and place the beans in a colander. It is advisable to rinse the beans with cold water to get rid of any remaining viscous juice. Dry the washed beans so that the salad does not turn out watery.

Step 4

Boil the egg hard, cool and peel. Cut into small cubes. You can increase the number of eggs to two if they are small (second category). The salad will look beautiful and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).
