STEP 5 — In a large salad bowl, mix all the salad ingredients, add sauce and stir. Garnish with finely chopped green onions.

Cucumber salad is hard to beat, at least in our family. Today I tried a slightly different dressing, and it worked very well.

INGREDIENTS
cucumber 2
boiled eggs 4
Onion 1
green onions to taste
Sauce
Sour cream 2 tbsp
mayonnaise 2 tbsp
Prepared mustard 1/2 tsp
ground black pepper (to taste)
salt (to taste)
TIP

The salad is prepared immediately before serving. Otherwise, the cucumber will produce a lot of juice, which will turn the salad into soup.

INSTRUCTIONS
01
STEP 1 — Boil about 1 liter of water in a kettle. Cut the onion into half slices and place in a small sieve. Pour boiling water over the onion and immediately rinse with very cold water. After this procedure, the onion will lose its bitterness, but will remain crispy.
