Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a salad with processed cheese, eggs and garlic? Very simple and fast! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Take large, selected eggs. If the eggs are small, it is better to take 3 pieces.

Step 2

Step 2
Grate the processed cheese on a medium or fine grater. To make it easier to grate the curds, first put them in the freezer for 20 minutes. The curds should be dense, in briquettes (“Druzhba”, “Yantar”). Soft processed cheese will not work here.

Step 3

Step 3
Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender, cool and peel. Cut the potatoes into small cubes. It is important not to overcook the potatoes; they should be ready, but not mushy. Boiled potatoes do not hold their shape and turn into mush when cutting and mixing the salad.

Step 4

Step 4
Hard boil the eggs, cool and peel. Cut into small cubes.

Step 5

Step 5
Wash the cucumbers and cut into small cubes. The peel, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.

Step 6

Step 6
Wash all greens thoroughly and dry. Cut green onions into rings. Finely chop the dill. In addition to the indicated greens, you can take parsley, cilantro, basil, in general, any greens to your taste.

Step 7

Step 7
In a salad bowl, mix grated processed cheese, potatoes, eggs, cucumber, greens and pressed garlic. If you wish, you can add additional salt and pepper to the salad, but I usually do not add spices to salads with mayonnaise.

Step 8

Step 8
Season the salad with mayonnaise and mix gently, being careful not to crush the eggs and potatoes.

Step 9

Step 9
Place a cooking ring on a plate, place the prepared salad in it and compact it. I have a ring with a diameter of 16 cm, so the salad turned out to be quite tall. If you wish, you can simply serve the salad in a salad bowl. Place the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 10

Step 10
Before serving, remove the cooking ring and garnish the salad with cherry tomato halves, cucumbers and herbs. Bon appetit!
