Zesty Salad with Egg

Salad with Egg

Ready in minutes, this salad can be served as a simple and delicious appetizer. A combination of pickled cucumbers and mustard make it a bit spicy. The Russians usually go for salted cucumbers. For someone who is not used to them, salted cucumbers can be a little bit strong in taste. It's best to serve it with fresh hearty black bread with butter.

Ingredients
2 hard boiled eggs
4 pickled cucumbers
3 stalks green (spring) onion
1 bunch fresh herbs
2 tsp mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise
