  3. To prepare hard-boiled eggs, place them in cold water and heat them over low heat to prevent cracking. Boil the eggs for approximately 9 minutes after the water reaches a boil. Then, transfer the eggs to cold water and let them cool. This will make it easier to peel the eggs. Cut the peeled eggs into pieces of uniform size, similar to the cucumber pieces.

Recipe Notes

To enhance the flavor of this simple salad, you can incorporate herbs, garlic, crab sticks, or boiled chicken breast.

For a visually appealing presentation, aim to cut all the ingredients into uniform pieces of the same size and shape, such as cubes.

Consider making your own mayonnaise for a tastier and healthier dressing option.

In addition to mayonnaise, you can use sour cream or natural yogurt as dressings. They can be used individually or mixed with mayonnaise in varying proportions to suit your taste, which can help reduce the calorie content of the dish.

When purchasing canned corn, be sure to check the expiration date on the jar. If the corn is packaged in a glass container, closely inspect the kernels. They should be uniform in size and color, firm, and free of any blemishes. Ensure that the ingredients list does not contain artificial dyes, preservatives, or flavor enhancers.
