Step 1
The classic recipe for crab stick salad is known to almost everyone. Hard-boil two or three eggs, then chop them finely together with crab sticks, then add corn, then fill the dish with mayonnaise and mix thoroughly, adding salt and spices to taste. You can also include canned green peas, finely chopped pickles and green onions in this classic recipe, and mayonnaise can be substituted for olive or mustard oil.
Step 2
A more exotic dish can be obtained by using seafood. Boil fresh or frozen squid in water for a few minutes, after thawing them. Chop crab sticks and a few eggs, and combine with chopped medium squid slices. After that, fill the dish with mayonnaise and put red caviar on top to decorate the salad, without mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
Step 3
You can also make a savory garlic salad with crab sticks. Any hard cheese, for example "Russian", chop or grind with a grater, mix the resulting cheese shavings with chopped eggs, crab sticks and canned corn. Squeeze out the juice of a couple of heads of garlic and add it to the salad. Stir the dish, then season the crab salad with mayonnaise and stir again.
Step 4
Fans of light meals can prepare a vegetable salad with crab sticks. Take two or three fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, peel them and cut the vegetables into small slices, then stir them with chopped crab sticks and Chinese cabbage leaves. To dress this light salad, you should not use mayonnaise, but vegetable oil. Lastly, add greens to the salad, after which you need to mix the finished dish thoroughly.
