1. Wash the cucumbers, dry with a paper towel, cut off the ends on both sides and cut into thin quarter rings.
2. Wash, dry and cut the tomatoes into convenient sized pieces.
3. Wash green onions, dry with a paper towel and chop finely.
4. Wash lettuce leaves, dry and cut or tear by hand. Since the leaves are very delicate, wash as much as you will use at a time. They fade very quickly and lose their airy appearance.
5. Place all food in a deep bowl. Pour the egg into a container of water.
6. Season the salad with salt, add vegetable oil and stir.
Boil a poached egg in any convenient way. On the website you can find detailed instructions on how to cook poached poached in a bag, in water, in a steam bath, in silicone molds, and in a microwave oven.
