The dish is prepared very quickly, because essentially you just need to chop the vegetables correctly and in the right quantities . Salad of fresh tomatoes and pickled cucumbersvery easy to prepare, however, even simple salad there are subtleties in the cooking process

Peel the tomatoes. To make peeling tomatoes easier, you can quickly boil them. To do this, you first need to put a pan of water on the fire. Then make a cross-shaped cut on the tomatoes. When the water in the pan boils, put the tomatoes in there for half a minute. Then we take the tomatoes out and put them in a bowl with water and ice. Once the tomatoes have cooled, you can easily remove the skins from them.

When the tomatoes have lost their skin, they can be cut into medium-sized pieces.

Slice the pickled cucumbers. First we cut them in half, and then lengthwise into medium pieces.

Peel the onion and cut it into half rings. To quickly peel an onion, you need to cut the onion in half and you can safely remove the peel from the halves. And if you are afraid of crying, then you can resort to special “anti-sob” methods. Before cooking, you need to keep the onion in the refrigerator for a while, and it is advisable to rinse the knife with cold water before slicing. The listed methods can be called folk, but there are also more unusual and less common ones. For example, some people place a candle next to the kitchen board, which should absorb the substances released when cutting onions. Instead, placing a fan or a bowl of boiling water nearby will help drive away these tear scavengers.

Finely chop the green onions.

Place tomatoes, pickles, onions and green onions in a bowl.

Season with chopped vegetables olive oil, salt and pepper.

Mix our salad thoroughly and serve. You should not keep the salad for a long time pickles and fresh tomatoes, because tomatoes quickly soften, and after 30 minutes they can begin to salt out.

Olive oil is better suited for salads, but if you don’t have such a product at home, you can replace it with regular sunflower oil. Of course, both taste and beneficial properties these two oils are different, but olive oil is a fairly expensive product and not everyone can afford it, so sunflower oil is a budget option.

In fact, chopped lightly salted cucumbers can already be a full-fledged salad, if, of course, they are sprinkled with oil. But still, our people are not accustomed to salads consisting of one product. A recipe for pickled and fresh cucumbers is also popular, although people come up with many variations of salads with pickled cucumbers, however, they are often made from ingredients that are lying around in the refrigerator.
