How to make a salad with canned tuna, egg and fresh cucumber

To prepare a salad with tuna, cucumber and egg, we divide the whole process into several parts. First we need to boil potatoes and eggs. To prevent potatoes from breaking apart during cooking, which often happens, add vinegar (3 tbsp. L) to the water.

Let's go fish. Canned tuna is sold in oil or in its own juice. For this salad, take tuna in juice. In a jar, tuna can be a whole piece or chopped. Usually, already chopped canned meat is used for salads. Open the jar of fish and drain the liquid, you will not need it for the salad. That's all for now, let's leave the fish.

Now let's get to the potatoes. Peel the boiled potatoes and cut into small cubes.

Cut fresh cucumber into cubes. We cut the peel from the cucumber only if it is tough. If you prepare a salad not in the season of fresh vegetables (in winter), then you can take a pickled or sour cucumber, but the taste of the salad will change, it will get sour.

Take a large bowl, put potatoes, cucumbers and, finely chopped, boiled egg in it.

Add three large spoons of canned tuna to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.

Pour mayonnaise into salad dressing, and then mix with a spoon. Salt the salad, add chopped greens. Everything can be posted for submission.

I propose to lay out the prepared salad in portions on one dish. To do this, cut a ring out of a small plastic bottle (500 ml), it is better to grease it inside with mayonnaise, but you don’t have to.

Put the ring on a plate, carefully fill it with salad, seal on top with a spoon. Thus, you can get 3-5 small servings of tuna salad on one plate. To prevent the salad from drying out before serving, remove it from the bowl before serving.

Layered salad with canned tuna, cucumber and corn

This salad is very tasty, and cooking it is simple and quick, the taste is light, fresh. Salad with canned tuna, corn and cucumber will be successful even if you have never cooked it.

It does not require expensive products or unusual cuts, but it turns out invariably delicious.

Ingredients:

Canned "Tuna in own juice pieces" - 200 g (1 can):
Cucumber - 2 pcs. (medium);
Corn - 4-5 tbsp. l. (sweet, canned);
Onion - 1 pc. (purple, white, yellow);
Vinegar - 15 g;
Sugar - 5 g;
Salt - to taste;
Mayonnaise - 50–60 g.

Cooking method:

First you need to prepare the products. Boil potatoes and eggs, cool, peel. Marinate the onion.
Marinate the onion like this: mix vinegar, a little salt and sugar on a saucer, now put the onion cut into quarters, and then half rings. We add water so that the onion is completely covered, and leave for 3-4 hours. If there is no such time, you can scald the onion with boiling water, and then pour the marinade. We only need 15 minutes to prepare it.
Now we will clean all the components, let's start cutting.
Cut the cucumber into strips, if the peel is dense, it is better to cut it off. In winter, you can also put pickled cucumber, but we get a different taste - with sourness. For now, let's leave the cucumber separately.
We also cut the potatoes into strips, so that the knife does not stick, we will wet it in cold water. We will also place it in a separate bowl.
Let's try to cut the eggs into half rings. We will also put them separately for the time being.
Now let's start shaping the salad. Let's take a beautiful plate, put our potato strips on the bottom. Cover the top with a thin mesh of mayonnaise.
The next layer is pickled onions and also a mesh of mayonnaise.
Put eggs and mayonnaise on top.
On a layer of eggs, you need to carefully lay out the pieces of tuna, without juice or oil, it is better if the pieces are small. We do not cover fish with mayonnaise.
Place a cucumber on top of it (without mayonnaise).
And put corn on top. All - we did it.
To make the salad look even better (and hide our assembly flaws), put lettuce or parsley around it on a plate. It will be very beautiful.
