Preparation
Step 1
Use fresh cucumbers and eggs, and choose canned saira or another oily fish you prefer. Select your favorite mayonnaise - light, quail-egg-based, or homemade.
Step 2
Open the can of saira, drain the liquid, transfer the fish to a plate, and mash it with a fork until smooth.
Step 3
Wash and pat the cucumbers dry. If the peel is thick, remove it; if thin, leave it for color. Grate the cucumbers on a coarse grater, sprinkle lightly with salt, and mix. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the excess liquid by hand.
Step 4
Boil the eggs for 10 minutes, cool them in cold water, peel, and grate on a coarse grater.
Step 5
Wash and dry the green onions, then finely chop them.
Step 6
Place a serving ring on a plate. Spread the saira as the first layer, press it slightly with a spoon, and spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on top.
Step 7
Add the cucumbers as the second layer, lightly press, and spread mayonnaise again.
Step 8
Add the eggs as the third layer, press down gently, and cover with mayonnaise.
Step 9
Remove the serving ring and sprinkle chopped green onions on top for garnish.
Step 10
The salad is ready - serve immediately.
Step 11
This is how the layered salad looks, but you can also mix all the ingredients in a bowl and dress with mayonnaise. Enjoy your meal!
