I prepared a classic crab salad with cucumber. Perhaps this is the very first version of the salad, which was made when crab sticks appeared on sale. And I return to this recipe from time to time. Classic! So today I quickly and easily prepared this salad for dinner. Thank you, Yulia M, for reminding me of the recipe for this delicious salad!

We always prepare classic crab salad with cucumber for family holidays. It's so delicious! I used to make it without cucumber, but it really refreshes the salad and adds juiciness. Great idea, thanks!
