For dinner I wanted to make a salad with rice, crab sticks, cucumber and corn. We love this salad, popular in many families. There is nothing complicated in cooking. The main thing is to boil the rice correctly so that the grains do not stick together and turn into porridge. I took long grain steamed. Boil it in plenty of water until tender and rinse with cold boiled water. I cooked the eggs for 10 minutes after boiling, during which time they become “steep”. I decided to add chopped dill to the salad. It is fragrant and gives a pleasant aftertaste. For added piquancy, I sprinkled it with freshly ground pepper. The salad is delicious, filling, and refreshing thanks to the cucumber! It can be served on a holiday table or just for dinner.

Thanks for reminding me, I made this for Sunday family dinner. Decorated with crackers.
