How to cook Donskoy salad with tomatoes and cucumbers

To begin with, wash all the vegetables, add all the excess water. We clean the onions, cut the tails from the cucumbers, and cut the stem out of the tomato. We cut cucumbers into thin slices, tomatoes into slices, and onions into half rings. We put the vegetables in a container.

We clean the sweet pepper, shake out the seeds and cut into strips of medium thickness.

Peel the carrots from the peel and cut into thin circles. Root vegetables are added to the salad.

Season the salad with salt, mix so that the vegetables begin to let the juice go.

Pour in the oil and vinegar and mix again. We leave the salad in this form on the table and wait for a lot of juice to appear at the bottom. After 30 minutes, the salad is slightly marinated, and the vegetables secrete juice.

We put the salad in clean jars along with the resulting juice. We put in a pot to be sterilized with slightly warm water. Be sure to place a piece of soft cloth under the jar so that the container does not burst when heated. When the water in the pan boils, we detect it for 15 minutes and sterilize the salad in this form.
