Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a salad of crab sticks with corn and cucumber? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. When choosing crab sticks, be sure to pay attention to the expiration date. Surimi meat (minced white fish) should appear in the list of ingredients in the first place. Do not buy the product if there is frost on it. This is a sign of repeated freezing. Fresh sticks should be free of gray and yellow spots, elastic and slightly moist. If the product is sticky, it means it is spoiled.
Step 2:
It is better to boil the eggs in advance so that you don't have to wait for them to cool down later. Wash them and cook them cool. To do this, pour them with cold water and cook for 10 minutes after boiling over medium heat. To clean the boiled eggs well, fill them with cold water. Cool completely, peel and separate the whites from the yolks. Grate them on a fine grater.
Step 3:
Salad can be laid out in layers in a large salad bowl or in portions. I laid out the salad with the help of a cooking ring, but you can also carefully lay out the ingredients with a slide. Lubricate the bottom with a thin layer of mayonnaise. This is necessary in order to fasten the bottom layer and it will not crumble when it is eaten. Put a layer of corn on top of the mayonnaise and smooth it out.
Step 4:
Smear the corn with a thin layer of mayonnaise, leaving the edges without mayonnaise. So the salad will look neat. Put the yolks in the next layer and smear with mayonnaise.
Step 5:
Wash the cucumber and cut off the tail. The skin, if it is not rough, not damaged and not bitter, does not need to be cut off. Dry and cut the cucumber into small cubes. Lay out the next layer. If the cucumbers are too watery, you can squeeze them out a little after grinding.
Step 6:
Brush the cucumbers with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Cut the crab sticks into small cubes and lay out the next layer, smear a little mayonnaise.
Step 7:
Remove the flaccid leaves from the green onion, rinse it and dry it. Then chop with a knife and put the next layer of lettuce out of it.
Step 8:
Finish the salad with a layer of chopped proteins. Align the surface so that the salad looks neat. Put it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Step 9:
Before serving, carefully remove the molding ring and decorate the top of the salad as desired.
Step 10:
I put the rest of the ingredients in layers in a large salad bowl.
Everyone in our family loves this salad. If you fill it with homemade mayonnaise, you can also give it to children.
The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting
recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
