Croutons with tuna, eggs and pickled cucumbers

A fairly popular canned tuna salad with pickled cucumbers, eggs and green onions will sparkle with new colors if served on crispy croutons! So it is more convenient to eat it, and outwardly the appetizer looks much more appetizing. Serving a spicy fish salad on toasted bread slices will be especially relevant for a homemade festive table and for a buffet table.

Ingredients

• Canned tuna - 140 g (1 can)
• Pickled or pickled cucumbers - 100 g (2 pcs.)
• Eggs - 2 pcs.
• Mayonnaise - 1 tbsp. the spoon
• White toast bread - 150 g (6 slices)
• Green onion - 20 g
• Salt - to taste
• Ground black pepper - to taste

Directions

1. Prepare the necessary ingredients. Canned tuna is suitable both in oil and in its own juice, in pieces or chopped.
2. Boil eggs hard boiled (10 minutes after boiling water). Cool the eggs in cold water.
3. Peel the cooled eggs from the shell and cut into small cubes.
4. Pickled/salted cucumbers cut into small cubes.
5. Rinse green onion feathers, dry and cut into thin rings.
6. In a bowl, combine the eggs, cucumbers and green onions, leaving a little onion to decorate the finished dish.
7. Drain oil or juice from canned tuna. If the fish is in whole pieces, mash it with a fork. My tuna was already chopped. Transfer the fish to the previously combined ingredients.
8. Season the salad with mayonnaise, add ground black pepper to taste and, if necessary, salt (taking into account the salt contained in the products).
9. Mix the fish salad.
10. Now let's start cooking croutons. Cut slices of white toast bread in half diagonally to form triangles.
11. Toast the bread slices in a dry frying pan on one side until unevenly golden. You need to fry the bread over high heat, about 3 minutes. If desired, the croutons can be fried in a small amount of vegetable oil.
12. Transfer the croutons to a dish and let them cool.
13. Then put the fish salad on the croutons - about 1 tbsp. spoon for one toast.
14. Sprinkle the toast with the remaining green onions.
15. Croutons with tuna, eggs and pickled cucumbers are ready! Serve the croutons to the table immediately after cooking, so that they do not soak from the moisture of the salad.
16. This is a very tasty appetizer that is perfect for a festive table.
17. Bon appetit!
