  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make a salad with canned fish, corn, and eggs? Get all the ingredients ready according to the list. It's best to use young cabbage — it has juicy, tender leaves, which is undoubtedly better for fresh salads. As for the canned fish, saury in oil, mackerel, or tuna all work. Boil the eggs ahead of time for 9–12 minutes and cool them.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Remove the damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Rinse the head and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the cabbage into thin strips and put it in a deep salad bowl.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Peel and rinse the carrot. Grate it on a coarse grater or a julienne (Korean-salad) grater. Add it to the cabbage.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Peel the eggs and cut them into small cubes. Add them to the cabbage and carrot.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Drain the liquid from the canned corn. Add the corn to everything else in the salad bowl.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Lightly mash the pieces of canned fish with a fork and add them to the salad.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Finely chop the young green onion. Instead of green onion, you can use half a red onion.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Dress the salad with oil, and sprinkle it with lemon juice if you like. If your canned fish is in oil, use the oil from the can. Mine was mackerel in its own juice, so I used olive oil for the salad. Season with salt to taste. Mix the salad thoroughly and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Sprinkle the finished salad with ground black pepper and garnish with a few sprigs of parsley or dill. Done — ready to serve!

  • Enjoy!
  • How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep the eggs from cracking as they cook, put them in cold water and bring them to a boil over low heat. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then douse them in cold water and cool. The sharp temperature change makes the shells easier to peel.
  • Shake the can before buying it. The more liquid sloshing around inside, the less fish there is.
  • How do you buy good canned corn? Always check the expiration date on the can. If the container is glass, scrutinize the kernels — they should be uniform in size and color, whole, and free of spots. The ingredient list shouldn't contain dyes, preservatives, or flavor enhancers.
