But if the cucumbers have a hard peel, then it is better to remove it before chopping the vegetable. Onions, chicken flesh cut into small cubes, carrots and potatoes - also finely and in a common dish.

Other cooking options

Today, such a salad can be served by changing or removing an objectionable component. Guests will only note a slightly different flavor palette. Some people won't notice the change at all. So, the ingredients of the salad "Capital" can be replaced, for example, chicken with beef or pork. You can even send sausages to the salad instead of a meat product. Meat or sausage are treated accordingly: the meat is boiled, both are ground.

Instead of mayonnaise, you can use sour cream. The taste will become softer. Or mix sour cream and mayonnaise in a one-to-one ratio for a different salad flavor again.
