Cucumber and Egg Salad - Secrets and Tips from the Best Chefs
A salad with a cucumber and an egg can be made even more useful if you replace the usual salt with sea or iodized salt, and take low-fat sour cream and mayonnaise.

Chicken salad is a dish mainly intended for the holiday table. But it can also make an ordinary dinner wonderful. For such a salad, boiled chicken fillet is mainly used, which is mixed with other ingredients. For example, cucumbers, eggs, mushrooms, cheese, etc. But if you wish, you can prepare a salad from baked or smoked brisket.
The second most popular and in-demand product after chicken, in my opinion, is cheese. For many decades, this product has been pleasing the tastes of sophisticated gourmets. It can be used for any salad: processed, hard varieties, Adyghe, mozzarella, etc. Eggs are also a common feature in many salad recipes. Usually they are used by chicken, but if you wish and financially, you can put quail.
This salad is dressed with mayonnaise. But to reduce calories, you can use sour cream, low-fat yogurt, kefir, vegetable oil with soy sauce, etc. The final taste of the dish will depend on what dressing to fill the salad with. And only by choosing the right ingredients, you can truly reveal the whole range of flavors of the dish.
