Step 1:
How to make crab salad with melted cheese? Prepare the ingredients. Defrost the crab meat and disassemble it into separate pieces. Especially large pieces cut in half.
Step 2:
Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Cut the melted cheese into cubes. To make it easier to work with processed cheese, it is better to pre-cool it in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes. Choose high-quality, natural, delicious cheese without milk fat substitutes.
Step 3:
Cut the cucumber into small cubes. Wash the Peking cabbage, dry it and cut it into small pieces. To make the salad more tender, it is better to trim the hard part of the leaves and use only the green leaves themselves.
Step 4:
Boil hard boiled eggs, cool, peel and cut into medium cubes.
Step 5:
Cut the pitted olives into quarters.
Step 6:
In a salad bowl, combine crab meat, Peking cabbage, two types of cheese, eggs, cucumber and olives.
Step 7:
Season the salad with mayonnaise and mix gently until smooth. I usually don't salt salads with mayonnaise, you can add salt to your taste. Put the salad on a platter and immediately serve it to the table (salads with fresh vegetables should not be kept seasoned for a long time, since they let the juice out and lose their taste and appearance). Enjoy your meal!

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

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 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.
