Crab salad with melted cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make crab salad with cream cheese? Prepare the ingredients. Thaw the crab meat and separate it into individual pieces. Cut especially large pieces in half.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Cut the processed cheese into cubes. To make it easier to work with processed cheese, it is better to pre-cool it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. Choose high-quality, natural, tasty cheese without dairy fat substitutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the cucumber into small cubes. Wash the Chinese cabbage, dry and cut into small pieces. To make the salad more tender, it is better to cut off the hard part of the leaves and use only the green leaves themselves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil the eggs hard, cool, peel and cut into medium cubes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the pitted olives into quarters.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a salad bowl, combine crab meat, Chinese cabbage, two types of cheese, eggs, cucumber and olives.

7. STEP 7

   

   Season the salad with mayonnaise and mix gently until smooth. I usually don’t salt salads with mayonnaise, but you can add salt to your taste. Place the salad on a dish and serve immediately (it’s better not to keep salads with fresh vegetables dressed for a long time, as they release juice and lose their taste and appearance) . Bon appetit!

Sometimes you want to diversify your menu with a salad of crab sticks, or find some new recipe. And on the website I found a recipe for crab salad with melted cheese. I didn’t have processed cheese, and I didn’t have olives either. But for cooking according to a recipe, every ingredient is important. And yet I decided to try. Thawed and cut up some crab sticks. Cut half a cucumber into small cubes. Eggs - cubes. I cut off the hard parts from the leaves of Chinese cabbage and tore the tender leaves with my hands. I grated the hard cheese on a coarse grater. I mixed all the ingredients and admired them. The salad turned out so picturesque! I poured mayonnaise on it - a thin stream, and then mixed it. The first impression of the salad was that it was so spring-like. This is from a fresh cucumber. The texture of the salad is dense, thanks to the crab sticks and cheese, and filling. One was enough for me for dinner. Next time I decided to prepare this salad with melted cheese and olives, as it should be! Thank you very much for the recipe!

What an interesting salad, recipe for crab salad with melted cheese. I wanted to cook it for myself for dinner. I chopped the crab meat finely, grated the hard cheese on a coarse grater, and broke the melted cheese into pieces with a spoon. I had the melted cheese in a bath, I froze it a little to make it easier to chop. I hard-boiled the eggs, peeled them and chopped them into small pieces, instead of fresh cucumber I used pickled cucumber, it fit perfectly in this salad, adding a delicious spicy note and aroma. I shredded Beijing cabbage on a Korean grater and added it to the salad. Instead of olives, I took olives, since the last berry was left from the olives, and I decided to leave it for decoration. The combination of products is ideal, cheese and eggs add tenderness, cucumber and olives add spice and piquancy, crab meat gives a hint of the sea. Seasoned everything with homemade mayonnaise and cooled it. Wonderful recipe!
