Crab sticks salad with corn without rice

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare food. Drain the liquid from the corn; you can drain it in a colander to dry thoroughly. Wash and boil the eggs. Cook them for 10 minutes after boiling over low heat, and then leave them in hot water for a while - this way the eggs will be fully cooked, but will remain soft. Then pour cold water over the eggs. The cucumber must be washed and dried well. If the crab sticks are frozen, defrost them.

2. STEP 2

   

   Preparing a salad involves chopping all the ingredients. Cut the cucumber into small cubes. If its skin is hard, then it is better to peel it.

3. STEP 3

   

   We remove the crab sticks from the film and also cut them into cubes. Instead of sticks, you can use crab meat, cut it into cubes too.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the completely cooled eggs and finely chop them. It is important that they do not remain warm - mixing warm and cold ingredients can cause the spoilage process to begin faster.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place corn, chopped eggs, crab sticks and cucumber in a large bowl. Mix well. If you like, you can add chopped herbs at this stage. I only use it for decoration. I don’t add salt to this salad; the saltiness of the sticks is enough for me. You can add salt to taste.

6. STEP 6

   

   The salad is almost ready, all that remains is to season it. Classically this is done with mayonnaise. I advise you to put mayonnaise immediately before eating the salad. Dressed salad has a very short shelf life. You can put the salad in a salad bowl, or you can serve it in portions using a special ring. Decorate the salad to your liking. Bon appetit!
