Crab sticks for salads are used by everyone and willingly. But, as is the case with most new, little-tested foods, the culinary fantasy dwells mainly on combining them with corn and eggs. Such a primitive composition deprives the people of so many tasteful pleasures of life. We offer you to try a salad with crab sticks and kiwi, which combines simplicity, elegance and exoticism. Moreover, there are several recipes, and each time you get a new - and always refined - taste.
Puff salad
The first to your attention is a salad with crab sticks and kiwi, which includes a minimum of additional ingredients. Ten pieces of sticks are either cut into small cubes, or crumbled across larger, and then disassembled into fibers. Two kiwis are peeled and finely cut. Two hard boiled eggs, divided into proteins and yolks and rub separately - the protein is large, the yolk is much smaller. The white part of the leek is plastered with thin rings. "Going" salad with crab sticks and kiwi in a transparent beautiful small salad bowl. All layers are finely smeared with mayonnaise and arranged in the following sequence:
1 - half of all pieces of kiwi;
2 - half the sticks;
3 - half the protein.
Further, the layers are repeated, the top is covered with yolks and not smeared. In season and if desired, you can supplement this salad with crab sticks and kiwi straws of fresh cucumber - between the sticks and protein.
Salad "Acquaintance"
The basis for it is the most common and often prepared. However, thanks to some modifications, a surprisingly tasty salad with crab sticks and kiwi is obtained. Five steep eggs and eight sticks are traditionally cut into cubes, the onion is chopped and poured with apple cider vinegar (some chefs advise keeping the onions for two hours, but in our opinion this is too much - ten minutes is enough to remove odor and excess bitterness). Three kiwis are chopped lightly, all the components are combined, a can of corn is poured, with which the marinade is expressed. For refueling, combine mustard, mayonnaise, pepper and salt (if necessary). Liquid components are taken in the ratio that you like; you can generally fill with only one of them, only mustard (if you stop at it) then you need to choose weak.
Cheese and Crabs
Very tasty and graceful is a salad with crab sticks and kiwi, complemented by hard cheese. True, he can’t do without eggs either: boil six pieces for a 200-gram pack of sticks. We cut the protein, and three yolks - they will decorate the dish. The cheese is taken as much as crabs. Both crumble in approximately equal pieces; Three kiwi cut more finely. We combine the components in a salad bowl, season with mayonnaise (you can pepper), and then decorate the dish with grated yolks and thin slices of another fruit.
"Tenderness"
The name is not very fair - a lot of recipes fit this definition. However, it is this salad “Tender” with crab sticks that is also very juicy. True, for this it is necessary to prepare it a little in advance - the gas station should be infused, and it is desirable that this process lasts all night. Mayonnaise, favorite seasonings and garlic are mixed for the sauce - if you like it. In the salad itself, a third of a kilogram of tomato is cut into cubes with peppers, they are peppered and left to let the juice go. Cut sticks (a standard pack) are laid out on top, and already on them is a dressing. No need to interfere yet. Last rubbed (or diced) cheese, in equal amounts with tomatoes. Only after that the dish is mixed and sprinkled with chopped herbs.
Pineapple salad
Deliciously delicious and unusual! However, before preparing a salad, crab sticks need to be prepared in a special way: carefully unwrap them, fold them in a pile, cut into two centimeters slices, and then thin beautiful straws. She pours to the coarsely grated five eggs. Pineapple rings are cut a little larger than the previous ingredients. Two hundred grams of cheese is rubbed or cut into small strips. Now the salad is going: pineapple, crab sticks, cheese, chopped dill, mayonnaise. It will become even tastier if halves / quarters of small fresh tomatoes and coarsely chopped shrimps are spread on top.
Royal salad
The new (and very relevant!) Ingredient in it is orange. Its presence makes it possible to try another “Tender” salad with crab sticks. Its preparation is troublesome only in relation to citrus: it should not only be peeled, but also removed all whitish layers, divided into slices, and remove thin skin from each. Then the slices are half and put in the salad. Related components (five eggs, seven to eight sticks) are cut, as in the preparation of most variants of crab salads. Canned corn and crushed garlic clove are added. Salad is dressed with mayonnaise, but gourmets can mix it with the juice that leaked when cutting orange.
