How to make a salad with canned pink salmon, rice and egg? Prepare the ingredients. It is preferable to use pink salmon without adding oil, the salad is seasoned with mayonnaise, excess fat is not needed. I always take steamed salad rice - it does not stick together after cooking.

Boil rice and eggs beforehand. How to cook rice? Rinse the cereal thoroughly to clean water. Tip the rice into a saucepan of boiling water, add the salt. Cook it until ready for the time indicated on the package. Then roll the rice back on a sieve and let drain the water. Cool down.

Remove the canned pink salmon from the jar and shake off the liquid. Remove the bones from the fish. Mash it into small pieces with a fork.

Wash the cucumber, dry and cut into small cubes. Be sure to try it if it mustards - such a cucumber will spoil the salad.

Boil the eggs hard-boiled. How to boil hard-boiled eggs? To prevent the eggs from cracking when cooking, put them in cold water and set them to cook on a small heat. Cook the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then cover with cold water and cool. It is better to clean the shell from a sharp temperature difference. Chop the peeled eggs into small cubes.

Wash the greens, dry and chop finely. I took cilantro, dill, parsley and spring onions are also good.

In a salad bowl, combine rice, eggs, cucumber, canned pink salmon and cilantro.

Season the salad with mayonnaise, pepper and stir. Taste the salad and add extra salt if necessary. I don't usually add salt to mayonnaise salads, but here it wouldn't be superfluous.

Serve the salad to the table in any way - in a salad bowl, portioned, lined with a culinary ring, layers or just mixed. Enjoy your meal!

Shake the tin before buying. The more fluid in it, the less fish.

Mayonnaise is better to cook on its own. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise. Also, not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt can be used as a dressing. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
