How to make the "Treachery and Love" salad

First, prepare all the ingredients. Cut the boiled beef into small cubes – approximately 0.5 cm each. Cut the pickled cucumbers into small cubes as well.

Peel the onion, rinse, and chop finely. If you're using non-sweet salad onions, pour boiling water over them and let them cool—this will prevent them from becoming too bitter. Peel the potatoes and chop them finely.

Wash and dry the tomato.
