1. Wash cucumbers and cut into thin strips. If cucumbers are bitter, they must be peeled.

2. Wash the pepper, remove the seeds and stem and cut into thin strips.

6. Boil eggs hard-boiled, peel and cut into strips. Combine with other ingredients.

7. Wash the tomatoes and cut into two parts (if using large tomatoes, cut into small slices).
