Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad from cucumber, tomato and egg? Prepare your food. You can take any salad — iceberg, arugula, romaine, frisee, etc. will do. I took a regular leaf one. Instead of large tomatoes, use several cherry tomatoes. Boil the eggs first and cool. Use greens to taste, I used parsley. Wash and dry the vegetables.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the lettuce leaves and dry well with a paper towel. This is important to do, as excess moisture will spoil the salad.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the cucumber into rings. Be sure to try it to see if it is bitter — such a fruit will spoil the taste of the dish. The peel, if it is not rough or damaged, does not need to be cut off.

Step 4

Step 4
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces. It is enough to cut the cherry tomatoes in half, larger ones into slices.

Step 5

Step 5
How to hard boil eggs? To prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, place them in cold water and cook over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. The shell will be better cleaned from a sharp temperature change. Cut the peeled eggs into quarters if they are not large, and smaller if they are large. A salad with quail eggs will look especially beautiful.

Step 6

Step 6
Take a dish to serve the salad (it can be served in a salad bowl, but the salad looks prettier on a flat plate). Tear lettuce leaves at the bottom. It is important to do this with your hands and not with a knife, since contact with metal will quickly oxidize and wither the salad.

Step 7

Step 7
Place cucumber and tomato slices on the salad.

Step 8

Step 8
Place egg pieces on top. Also, tear the greens with your hands and arrange them over the salad.

Step 9

Step 9
Spread sour cream randomly between the egg pieces. Salt and pepper the salad to taste. Serve it immediately — salads made from fresh vegetables and herbs do not last long, as juice is released from them. Bon appetit!
