Classic crab salad recipes: how to prepare a salad from sticks or natural crabs, ingredients, cooking step by step with photos and videos

In the last article, we already got acquainted with various ways of preparing salads with crab sticks. And we learned that such meat goes well with many foods. These include various vegetables, fruits, cereals, and herbs. They can be prepared with the addition of other seafood, or even with canned fish.

Today's series of salads falls into the classic category. I’ll tell you right away why they are classified this way.

In fact, everything is very simple. Since even in recent times these products were in terrible short supply, there were practically no recipes for them. In fact, there was only one recipe in two versions.

The first included ingredients such as crab sticks, eggs, corn, rice, green onions, herbs and mayonnaise.

And in the second one, fresh cucumber was also added. That is, in the summer, when vegetables were available, it was added, and in the winter, when such an abundance of fresh vegetables was not observed in stores, it was accordingly not used.

Currently, the geography of classic salads has expanded somewhat. And I propose in today’s article to get to know her better.

This cooking method successfully combines ingredients, creating a delicate flavor palette. This option is suitable as an independent food product or as a basis for more complex products. The recipe requires the following ingredients:

Sticks or crabs – 250 g;
Hard-boiled eggs – 3-4 pcs;
Can of canned corn;
Low fat mayonnaise;
Herbs and spices.

Cooking instructions

Finely chop the boiled meat and eggs, then add the corn, after draining the liquid from it.
Add herbs and spices, then season with mayonnaise.

A salad decorated with greens – finely chopped parsley or dill – looks very appetizing.

Salad with crab meat and croutons

This simple recipe has high organoleptic characteristics - pleasant taste, light aftertaste and aroma. Crab stick salad is prepared in a hurry and is suitable as an appetizer or as a separate dish. The following ingredients are required for preparation:

Crab sticks or crustacean meat – 200 g;
Crackers – 40 g;
Hard-boiled eggs – 3 pcs;
A can of canned corn;
Low-fat mayonnaise – 100 g.

Cooking instructions

Add the chopped boiled meat to the corn, after draining the liquid from it.
The eggs need to be cooled and peeled, then finely chopped.
Add small crackers to the ingredients and season with mayonnaise.

You need a little more sauce than for other versions of the dish so that the croutons can absorb moisture.

Salad with crab sticks and green apple

You can omit the cucumber from some versions of the salad. And use a green apple instead. I also know that not everyone likes mayonnaise. So don’t refuse them a delicious dish! Moreover, you can always find an alternative to mayonnaise. And I suggest replacing it with a sour cream-based dressing.

We will need:

crab sticks – 200 gr
boiled eggs – 5 pieces
corn - 1 can
boiled rice – 1 cup
green apple – 1 pc.

For refueling:

vegetable oil – 3 tbsp. spoons
apple cider vinegar 6% – 1 tbsp. spoon
mustard – 1 teaspoon
sour cream – 7 tbsp. spoons
salt – 2 pinches

Preparation:

The salad is very simple. And it can be prepared both for a holiday and for everyday meals. It is clear that if you decide to cook it for a holiday, you need to think about how to decorate it. If you are preparing it for lunch or dinner, then you can serve it directly in the bowl in which we cook it.

Or move it to a more beautiful one.

1. Boil and cool the rice in advance. If you use regular rice, then take it dry, a little less than half a glass, or maybe half. During cooking it will double in volume.

If you use steamed rice, then take only 1/4 cup of it dry. As I already said, it will increase four times during cooking.

2. Peel the apple and cut into cubes. Also cut eggs and crab sticks. Place everything in a bowl.

3. Add corn, from which all liquid must first be drained.

And then chilled rice. Add salt to taste and stir.

4. Prepare the dressing. To do this, simply mix all the ingredients. If you don't have apple cider vinegar, but you have lemon, you can add that too. Just like one tablespoon of vinegar.

The dressing will have the same consistency as mayonnaise.

5. Fill the contents with the required amount of refill. If the sour cream was thick, then all the dressing will go away, but if it is runny, then it may remain. But it’s better to have some left than not enough. Otherwise you will have to spend time finishing it. It can be used for another dish. Until then, store in the refrigerator.

Everything can be served immediately and enjoy the delicate, pleasant and fresh taste.
