Step cooking
1. First, pickle the onions. We will do this according to the recipe above.
2. We do not peel potatoes for this variation of the "Peasant" salad. Therefore, we wash it very carefully with a brush. Cook the tubers until tender. We drain the water, cool and only now peel. Potatoes cooked in this way have an original, unique taste and aroma. We chop the finished boiled tubers, turning them into medium cubes. In fact, in such a salad arbitrary cutting is allowed.
3. Fresh my cucumber. Cut arbitrarily. We do not peel the peel from fresh cucumber.
4. We chop pickled (salted) cucumber according to the same principle as fresh.
5. Take a salad bowl suitable in volume. Send chopped cucumbers, potatoes and ready pickled onions into its bowels. Mix the components. Add salt to taste and add black pepper. Pour the sunflower oil. Mix the ingredients. Garnish with dill.
A salad of potatoes and pickles can be slightly diversified by adding, for example, pickled mushrooms or boiled carrots. Sometimes 2-4 tablespoons of washed sauerkraut are added to the recipe.
