Sometimes it happens that the guests are almost on the doorstep, and there is nothing to treat them with. For such cases, you should stock up on instant noodles. It can be one of the main ingredients in simple but delicious and satisfying salads.
Economy salad recipe
You will need:
- 3 packs of instant noodles (it is also often called "mivina");
- 2-3 lightly salted cucumbers;
- 2 unsweetened processed cheese;
- 300 grams of boiled sausage (for example, "Doctor's");
- 4 chicken eggs;
- 1 onion;
- mayonnaise.
Hard-boiled chicken eggs and place them in cold water to cool. Crush the instant noodles in a deep bowl. Season to taste. Pour boiling water over and cover for 4-5 minutes. Drain the water. The peeled onion should be chopped as small as possible.
Cut the sausage and cucumbers into cubes in the same way as you usually cut into Olivier salad. Peel the eggs and pass them through the egg grinder. However, you can also cut it into cubes with an ordinary knife. Cut the melted cheese into cubes, periodically soaking the knife in cold water (this will prevent the cheese from sticking to the blade).
It is better to buy processed cheese the one that says "lomtevoy". It is easier to cut.
Combine all ingredients with instant noodles. Season the salad with mayonnaise and let it brew for 10-15 minutes.
