How to make a simple salad with tongue? Prepare the products. The tongue and eggs will need boiled. Mushrooms are preferable to honeydew, small in size, which can be put in a whole salad — they are brighter in taste and look beautiful in a salad. Put them in a colander and let the marinade drain.

How to cook the tongue? Pre—soak it in cold water for 30 minutes - it will be softer and more tender. Then drain the water, put the tongue in a saucepan and fill with clean water. Put it to cook over medium heat. After boiling, remove the foam and boil the tongue for 15 minutes. After that, drain the water, pour in fresh and put it to boil again. This will get rid of the smell. The cooking time is from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the tongue. When cooking, you can add salt, spices, vegetables to taste. To make the tongue easier to clean, immediately after cooking, fill it with cold water.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

Note that canned mushrooms are often stored in stores with a violation of the temperature regime (above 25 degrees, especially in summer). This can lead to the development of bacteria that cause severe poisoning and botulism.
Signs of improper storage are: a swollen jar, cloudy marinade, air bubbles rising from the bottom of the jar, the presence of mold and an unpleasant smell. If at least one of the listed signs is detected, it is better not to use such mushrooms at all. If you are sure that the canned mushrooms were stored correctly, then you can use them without frying. In the case when there seem to be no signs, but you doubt it, it is better to fry the mushrooms in vegetable oil until golden brown.
