Hearty salad, thanks to eggs and mayonnaise, while fresh, juicy and aromatic, thanks to parsley, cucumbers and green peas. It is prepared for one or two and is eaten just as quickly.
A large portion of such a salad fully saturates, energizes the body and replaces dinner. For family serving, it is appropriate together with side dishes and hot.
The taste benefits from greens in many ways - except for parsley, use dill, cilantro, basil, any fragrant vegetation.
Ingredients:
Eggs - 2 pcs.
Green peas - 100 g
Fresh cucumbers (large) - 1-2 pcs.
Mayonnaise - 30-50 g
Greens - 2-3 branches
Salt, black pepper - to taste
Step by step recipe:
Step 1 - To make a salad at home, take the groceries on the list. If you have the opportunity, harvest your garden crop. Rinse greens, cucumbers thoroughly before cutting, allow time to dry.
Step 2 - In this recipe, slicing cucumbers makes the difference. If you chop too thin, finely or rub with shavings, a lot of moisture is formed: the cucumber will let the juice out. If desired, this option is also possible, but for adherents of the famous Greek salad, in which vegetables are purposefully chopped large, we advise you to repeat a similar method here. Then the cucumber firmness is felt and the salad does not "float". We cut first along in half, then - each part again in half and in length. That is, we divide the cucumbers into four long bars. Then - across, in rather wide fragments.
Step 3 - Love chopped greens, chop finely-finely with a knife, or scroll in a chopper. The aroma will intensify, and the green gruel will quickly mix with the main dressing. But you can act differently - we tear off the leaves from the tough branches. We act easily with our hands, without any knife and improvised means, we save the juice inside each branch.
Step 4 - Next, add green peas to the cucumbers with parsley. Here, both frozen or young just from the pods, and canned brain varieties (the one that is part of the traditional Olivier) are suitable. After freezing, the peas are immersed in boiling water for about 1 minute, quickly discarded in a colander and put on a tray with ice or rinsed with cold water. In this way, we abruptly interrupt the heat treatment - the icy peas have time to thaw, but do not lose their bright light green color and natural sweetness.
Step 5 - Finally add the hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise and salt and pepper. We mix, we try.
Step 6 - Serve the salad with peas, cucumbers and eggs immediately after dressing.
If lunch is supposed to be later, cut all the necessary products, cover with a lid / film, put in the refrigerator and mix with spices, mayonnaise before serving.
