Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare the products. Drain the liquid from the corn, you can throw it into a colander to dry it thoroughly. Wash and boil the eggs. Cook them for 10 minutes after boiling over low heat, and then leave them in hot water for a while - so the eggs will be completely cooked, but they will remain soft. Then fill the eggs with cold water. Cucumber should be well washed and dried. If the crab sticks are frozen, defrost them.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Salad preparation consists in slicing all the ingredients. Cut the cucumber into small cubes. If the skin is hard, it is better to clean it.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Release the crab sticks from the film and also cut into cubes. Instead of sticks, you can use crab meat, cut it into cubes too.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Peel and finely chop the completely cooled eggs. It is important that they do not stay warm - when mixing warm and cold ingredients, the spoilage process can begin faster.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put corn, chopped eggs, crab sticks and cucumber in a large bowl. Mix well. If you like, at this stage you can add chopped greens. I only use it for decoration. I do not salt this salad, the salinity of the sticks is enough for me. You can add salt to taste.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    The salad is almost ready, it remains only to fill it. Classically, this is done with mayonnaise. I advise you to put mayonnaise right before eating salad. Seasoned salad has a very short shelf life. You can put the salad in a salad bowl, or you can make a portion serving using a special ring. Decorate the salad to your liking. Bon appetit!

I always cook salad according to this recipe. Without rice, it turns out to taste lighter. Sometimes I like to add a drop of garlic and lemon juice. But I use greens only for decoration.
Sour cream can be used as a dressing, but with mayonnaise it turns out tastier. If this is critical for you, then prepare a homemade version of mayonnaise, it is more useful.
