Miner’s Salad

Ingredients:

• 300 g of boiled meat
• 300 g of cucumbers
• 1 red onion (1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp 6-9% vinegar, boiling water)
• 1-2 cloves of garlic
• 50 g of vegetable oil
• 1 bay leaf
• 5 black peppercorns
• Salt to taste

Preparation Method:

1. Prepare a quick pickle for the red onion: thinly slice the onion and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, then pour the vinegar over it. Add enough boiling water to cover the onions and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes. Afterward, drain the onions and let them cool.
2. While the onions are pickling, slice the boiled meat into thin strips.
3. Cut the cucumbers into similar-sized strips as the meat.
4. For the dressing, combine crushed garlic, vegetable oil, a bay leaf, and black peppercorns in a small bowl. Add salt to your preference and mix well.
5. In a salad bowl, combine the meat, cucumbers, and pickled red onions.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well-coated.
7. Allow the salad to marinate for a bit before serving for the flavors to meld together.

Serving: The salad can be served as a refreshing appetizer or a light main course, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
