Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 25 min

Step 1:
How to make a salad with crab sticks, crackers and beans? Prepare the ingredients. We will need: 200 g of crab sticks; 200 g of canned red beans; 50 g of rye bread crackers; 2 eggs; 1 clove of garlic; 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Step 2:
Peel the crab sticks from the factory film and cut into small pieces.
Step 3:
Boil hard boiled eggs, peel and cut into small cubes.
Step 4:
Put the canned beans on a sieve. Then rinse.
Step 5:
You can take ready-made store-bought crackers without additives. I prefer to cook these crackers on my own. To do this, cut the rye bread into small cubes, put it on a baking sheet and dry it in the oven, stirring occasionally.
Step 6:
Pass the garlic through the press. Pour vegetable oil into the garlic and mix.
Step 7:
Pour the fragrant garlic oil into the crackers and mix. This should be done at the very end, before mixing all the ingredients, so that the crackers do not have time to get wet.
Step 8:
In a salad bowl, combine the beans, crab sticks, eggs and garlic crackers.
Step 9:
Season the salad with mayonnaise and mix.
Step 10:
Serve immediately until the crackers are soaked. Bon appetit!

I use canned beans in the salad, but you can replace it with boiled beans (for this you need to soak dry beans in the evening, and boil them in the morning until ready in salted water). Or even completely replace it with a pod - freshly brewed or canned.
In my family, beans in any form are very fond of. After all, by its composition, it is able to replace meat, for example, during fasting, as well as in those cases.
That's why I often cook various dishes based on beans. I like soups and salads most of all.
The combination of beans with crab sticks only at first glance seems strange and not very compatible. However, as it turned out, these products complement each other very well.

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.

How to buy crab sticks correctly? Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date of the product. Surimi meat (minced white fish) should appear in the list of ingredients in the first place. Important! 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.
