Step 1:
How to make a Red Sea salad? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. Vegetables - tomatoes and bell peppers, rinse well in running water from dirt. Then dry with a towel. You can use any cheese for a salad. The main thing is that it can be easily grated.
Step 2:
Remove the crab sticks from the packages. Cut each crab stick into 3-4 strips in length, then finely slice across.
Step 3:
Salad will be laid out in layers. To do this, you need a special ring for salad or an ordinary detachable cake mold. Place the mold immediately on the plate on which you will serve the salad. Put the sliced crab sticks on the bottom of the split mold with the first layer. Press the layer of crab sticks a little with your hand so that they lie down more tightly. Separately mix the crushed garlic with mayonnaise. In the resulting sauce, lubricate this layer and all subsequent ones.
Step 4:
Cut the bell pepper into two parts and remove the core. Then finely chop the pepper.
Step 5:
Put the chopped bell pepper in the next layer, pressing it a little.
Step 6:
Grate the cheese on a fine grater and put 2/3 of the total amount into the ring with the third layer.
Step 7:
Cut tomatoes in half and remove the stalk. Cut the tomatoes into small cubes. To prevent tomatoes from flowing in the salad, remove the juicy core from them.
Step 8:
Lay out the sliced tomatoes in the next layer.
Step 9:
Sprinkle the top of the salad with the remaining grated cheese and remove the ring from it. The Red Sea salad is ready! Cool it a little before serving and decorate a little to your liking. For decoration, you can use vegetables and fresh herbs.
Step 10:
The finished salad turns out to be light and very tasty. And the aroma of garlic pleasantly complements all the components. Bon appetit!

Tomatoes choose juicy, but dense. Soft fruits do not keep their shape well, in the process of slicing and cooking they will spread into a shapeless mass and spoil the appearance of the dish.

The salad will look nice and neat if you cut all the ingredients into pieces of the same size and shape (for example, cubes).

The film in which each crab stick is wrapped is sometimes poorly removed. To facilitate the process, hold the sticks over the steam for 1-3 seconds.

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.
