Step 1:
How to make a salad with potatoes and canned squid? Prepare the products. Boil the potatoes and eggs in advance, they should cool completely. A salad made from warm ingredients can quickly deteriorate. It's better to take squid in your own juice, not in oil — the salad is seasoned with mayonnaise, excess fat will be useless.
Step 2:
Open a jar of squid and flip them on a sieve to drain the liquid. Then cut the squid into pieces. Put them in a bowl. Peel the onion and finely chop it. So that the onion does not taste bitter, you can pour boiling water over it. Add the onion to the squid.
Step 3:
How to boil eggs? Cook them over low heat for 9 minutes, then pour cold water until completely cooled. From the temperature difference, the eggs are easier to clean. Cut the eggs into small cubes. Add them to the salad bowl.
Step 4:
How to boil potatoes? Wash the tubers well under running water. Pour cold water over the potatoes and cook over low heat after boiling for about 30 minutes. Determine readiness with a knife — it should freely pierce the tuber. Cool the potatoes completely. Peel it and cut it into small cubes. Add the potatoes to the salad.
Step 5:
If you like fresh herbs, then add finely chopped green onions or dill to the salad.
Step 6:
Mix the ingredients. Season the salad with mayonnaise and try it. Add salt and pepper to taste. But keep in mind that squid and mayonnaise contain salt, do not over-salt. Serve the salad immediately on the table — seasoned salads are not stored.

The salad turns out to be very tender and light, despite the presence of mayonnaise. Which can be safely replaced with yogurt or sour cream, thereby significantly reducing the calorie content.

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

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
