Step 1:
1. Seafood gives our appetizer its main flavor, so you have to choose only high-quality, top-grade products. I buy "Lunskoye More," because I've trusted their quality and taste for a long time. Choose lettuce with no darkened leaves.
Step 2:
1. Cut the imitation crab sticks into medium pieces, so they don't end up too small, and put them in a bowl.
Step 3:
1. Then cut the lettuce leaves into medium pieces too and add them to the crab sticks.
Step 4:
1. Carefully lift the squid tentacles out of the can so you don't bring along excess oil or brine. You can put them straight into the bowl without cutting them.
Step 5:
1. Drain the liquid from the can, add the corn to the rest of the ingredients, and mix.
Step 6:
1. Dress all the chopped ingredients with mayonnaise, and add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7:
1. Next, cut the cheese into smallish pieces, using as much as you like.
Step 8:
1. Cut the tortilla into triangles and put the filling inside. Add a little imitation salmon roe to give the flavor some kick.
