Salad

Description

A simple dish to prepare. I'd like to mention right away that you'll need to set aside some sliced cheese, a bunch of green onions (with three or more stems), and three strips of carrot. With these ingredients, we'll make our flowers—lilies. The remaining ingredients will go into the salad. Let's get started. Serve chilled.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Boil the potatoes, carrots, and eggs until cooked. Just wash the carrots and potatoes, no need to peel them. You can cook everything in one pot, just remove the eggs earlier. Or you can boil them separately. The main thing is that the vegetables remain firm and don't become mushy.

   Step 2

   Cool the cooked vegetables and eggs and peel them.

   Step 3

   Let's start cutting. Cut the potatoes, carrots, eggs, yellow pepper, and cucumber into roughly equal cubes. Peel the cucumber. Cut a long strip from the carrot and divide it into three pieces. Set aside the carrot strips for decoration.

   Step 4

   Rinse the fresh onion, then dry it with a paper towel. Set aside one sprig with three or more leaves.

   Step 5

   Place all the chopped salad ingredients into a large bowl. Season with pepper and mix. I recommend not adding salt yet—serve the salt separately when presenting the salad, so each person can season to taste. The reason is that fresh cucumbers may release juice, making the salad watery if left to sit. Add mayonnaise and mix well. Transfer the salad into a serving bowl.

   Step 6

   Now let's move on to the decoration. Roll a soft cheese slice into a lily bud and place it on the salad. Use the onion to create a stem, and insert carrot strips into the cheese as stamens. The "Three Flowers" salad is ready!
