Step 1:
How to make a layered salad with crab sticks? Prepare the products. Crab sticks, if they have been frozen, pre-defrost. Boil the eggs. Any hard or semi-hard cheese will do. The main thing is that it is delicious, high-quality, without milk fat substitutes. You can take both a large tomato and a few small cherries.
Step 2:
Clean the sticks. 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. Cut the chopsticks into small cubes. I will collect the salad in the cooking ring, but you can do it without it, just laying out the products in layers. Place the ring on the plate. Put the sticks in the first layer and tamp them with a spoon. Apply a mesh of mayonnaise on top.
Step 3:
Peel boiled eggs from the shell and grate on a coarse grater. Lay them out in a second layer. Also apply a mayonnaise mesh on top. To make it easier to do this, put the mayonnaise in a tight bag, a pastry bag or an ordinary bag and cut off the tip from it.
Step 4:
Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into small cubes. Lay them out in the next layer. Mayonnaise is no longer needed here.
Step 5:
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and lay out the top layer. Tamp the cheese with a spoon. Also apply a mayonnaise mesh on top. Put the salad in the refrigerator for half an hour so that it cools down a little.
Step 6:
Free the salad from the ring (if you used it) and decorate to your liking. Serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

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.

How to cook hard-boiled eggs? So that the eggs do not crack when cooking, put them in cold water and put them to cook on a small fire. Boil the eggs for 9 minutes after boiling, then pour cold water and cool. From a sharp temperature drop, the shell will be better cleaned.

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here homemade mayonnaise recipes.
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.
