A very simple but delicious salad. I would advise you not to cook it in advance - cucumbers and caviar give juice. My layers flowed a bit as I decided to cool it down for a couple of hours. Boiled squid can be added to such a salad.

How to make a salad with red caviar? Prepare the products. Boil potatoes and eggs in advance and cool. Wash cucumbers and dill and dry.

How to boil potatoes in a uniform? Wash the tubers well, fill with cold water in a saucepan and set to cook on a small heat. After boiling, cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size and variety. Check your readiness with a sharp knife - it will easily pierce the tuber. Cool the boiled potatoes completely, peel and cut into cubes.

Cut the cucumbers into cubes as well. Be sure to try them before that, whether the skin is mustard - such a fruit will spoil the whole dish. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut.

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. Cut the peeled eggs into cubes as well. Lay proteins from two eggs, they will be needed for decoration.

Finely chop the dill.

Add the dill to the mayonnaise, mix. You can use pure mayonnaise, without additives.

I served the salad, layering it with a cooking ring. But in general, it can simply be mixed and served in a salad bowl. Or lay out already mixed with the help of a ring. Take a plate, put a ring on it. Put the potatoes in the first layer, compress them with a spoon.

Grease a layer of potatoes with dill mayonnaise. Put a layer of caviar on it. You don't need to smear it with mayonnaise.

Next, lay the chopped cucumbers, and also brush them with mayonnaise.

Top the cucumbers with the eggs.

Brush a layer of eggs with mayonnaise.

Grate the remaining whites on a fine grater and place on top of the salad.

Remove the ring from the salad. Decorate the top at will with caviar and herbs. Serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

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.

Make salads only from fully chilled foods. Made with warm ones, the salad can quickly deteriorate.

The salad will look beautiful and neat if you cut all the ingredients into the same size and shape in pieces (for example, cubes).
