Layered salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This salad is very simple to prepare, yet it makes a great alternative to the traditional Olivier salad—the combination of ham, beef, pickled cucumbers, and eggs will delight everyone. In addition, unlike Olivier, this salad also includes hard cheese and tomatoes. Optionally, add another layer of thinly sliced and marinated onions—they will enhance the flavor of all ingredients. For garnish, you can also use olives, peas, and cucumbers. Serve at the table.
