How to make a tongue salad with cucumbers? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Eggs need large selection. If the eggs are small, take 4 pieces. If the cucumbers are large, 2 pieces are enough, if small, then you need 3. Instead of lettuce leaves, you can use a ready-made salad mixture.

Pre-boil the tongue until tender in water with the addition of whole peeled bulb, bay leaf, salt and allspice with peas. This way the language will turn out to be more fragrant and tasty. Remove the skin from the finished tongue. It takes about 1. 5-2 hours to cook pork tongues. I usually cook them late in the evening in a pan and leave them on a cooling burner until the morning - this is how the tongues turn out to be tender and do not dry out.

Cool the tongue and cut into small, long straws.

Cut the pickled cucumbers into long, thin strips.

Boil the eggs hard-boiled, peel and cut into strips. For greater uniformity, you can grate the eggs on a coarse grater.

Finely chop walnuts. Nuts may not be added at all, but with them the salad turns out to be much tastier. Walnuts can be replaced with salted peanuts or other nuts to taste.

In a salad bowl, combine pork tongue, pickled cucumbers, eggs, walnuts. Season the salad with mayonnaise and stir.

On a platter, spread out the lettuce leaves. Put the salad on top with a slide. You can sprinkle the salad with crushed nuts. If you wish, you can put the salad for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator. Serve the salad to the table. Enjoy your meal!
