Preparation
Step 1
How to make tongue salad with cucumbers? Prepare the ingredients. Use large eggs; if the eggs are small, take 4. If the cucumbers are large, 2 are enough; if small, use 3. Instead of lettuce leaves, you can use a ready salad mix.
Step 2
Boil the tongue in advance until tender in water with a whole peeled onion, bay leaf, salt, and whole allspice. This makes the tongue more aromatic and flavorful. Peel the cooked tongue. Pork tongues should be boiled for about 1.5-2 hours. I usually cook them late in the evening in a pressure cooker and leave them on the cooling stovetop burner until morning - this way they turn out tender and don’t dry out.
Step 3
Cool the tongue and cut it into thin, long matchsticks.
Step 4
Cut the pickled cucumbers into thin, long matchsticks.
Step 5
Hard-boil the eggs, peel them, and cut into matchsticks. For a more even texture, you can grate the eggs on a coarse grater.
Step 6
Finely chop the walnuts. You can skip the nuts, but they make the salad much tastier. Walnuts can be replaced with salted peanuts or other nuts to taste.
Step 7
In a salad bowl, combine the pork tongue, pickled cucumbers, eggs, and walnuts. Dress with mayonnaise and mix.
Step 8
Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter. Pile the salad on top. You can sprinkle with chopped nuts. If you like, chill the salad for 10-15 minutes. Serve. Enjoy!
