A salad that doesn't require cooking - just chop it up and it's ready.

Country kitchen

A no-boil salad is every cook's dream, as it significantly reduces prep time and effort. Just chop everything and it's ready to serve.

The ingredients are simple and readily available: a little smoked sausage, fresh or canned vegetables, and mayonnaise for dressing. This salad can be customized based on what you buy at the store or what you have in your fridge. For example, replace the smoked sausage with cooked sausage, replace the beans with green peas, replace the pickled cucumber with a marinated one, or add some grated cheese. Either way, it's delicious, quick, and easy!

It takes 5 minutes to prepare. The ingredients listed make 2 servings.

smoked sausage – 200 g;
raw carrots – 50 g;
fresh cucumber – 1 pc.;
pickled cucumber – 1 pc.;
canned red beans – 100 g;
canned corn – 50 g;
dill – 30 g;
mayonnaise to taste;
salt, black pepper.

How to make a no-boil salad

Peel the raw carrots with a vegetable scraper and shred them into thin strips using a vegetable grater. You can use a Korean carrot grater or a coarse vegetable grater.

Throw the chopped carrots into a bowl.

Wash the fresh prickly cucumber and trim the ends. Cut the cucumber into small cubes. Add the sliced cucumber to the carrots.

Next, finely chop the salted or pickled cucumber and add it to the bowl.

Place the canned corn in a sieve and add to the chopped vegetables.

Now add canned red beans to the bowl. This salad can also be made with green peas or white beans.

Remove the skin from the smoked sausage and cut into thin strips or cubes. Add the sausage to the remaining ingredients.

Any greens, such as fresh dill or green onions, would be a welcome addition to this salad. Finely chop the greens and toss them into a bowl.

Add salt and mayonnaise to your taste, season with freshly ground black pepper, mix thoroughly and serve the appetizer.

Garnish with a parsley leaf before serving. Enjoy.

Prepare salads with fresh vegetables immediately before serving; the shelf life of such a dish in the refrigerator is 1-2 hours.
