Salad "Hunter"
It was such an interesting name that the salad with smoked sausage and corn was easy to prepare. In addition, it has spicy pickled cucumbers and flavored cheese. Smoked meat gives the dish an appetizing and vibrant aroma, and brackish cucumbers add piquancy to the taste.
What is required
The following ingredients are for 3-4 servings of salad. Try to find a delicious and fragrant hard cheese, as well as quality uncooked smoked sausage.
Ingredients:
- 220 g canned sweet corn;
- 180 grams of smoked sausage;
- 210 g of hard cheese;
- four pickled cucumbers;
- 100 g canned peas;
- salt;
- mayonnaise;
- sweet red onions;
- ground black pepper;
- dill or parsley.
How to cook
Just like the first salad recipe with corn and crackers, the option of a dish with smoked sausage does not require much time. All products just need to be cut. Canned peas and corn are removed from cans. Add to the salad bowl, but without liquid. We send hard cheese there, which was previously crushed on a fine grater. We clean the red sweet onion. We cut it into small cubes. But if you like to feel a richer onion taste in a dish, then you can chop the onion in half rings.
We cut the smoked sausage into slices, and then shred each circle into long thin strips. You can do the same with pickled cucumbers. As in the salad recipe with corn and crackers, the salad with sausage allows housewives to experiment with sauces and dressings. This can be homemade fatty mayonnaise, store-bought lean mayonnaise, sour cream, as well as various sauces and culinary combinations for dressing salads.
Chicken, Eggs, Corn and Cucumber
We bring to your attention another proven recipe for canned corn salad. It will take a little longer to cook here than in the first two options. But the dish will turn out to be more satisfying and high-calorie. You can also vary the list of ingredients by adding or removing foods that are unfamiliar or objectionable to you (for example, because of a diet).
Grocery list
Salad with canned corn, chicken and cucumber is perfect for friendly gatherings or family everyday dinners. The products are designed for 3-4 servings.
Products:
- 220 g chicken;
- 170 g canned sweet corn;
- a pinch of salt;
- two eggs;
- three fresh cucumbers;
- a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise;
- dill greens.
Cooking
Let's start preparing this simple and tasty salad with canned corn by taking two saucepans. Both fill with water. In both we put a spoonful of salt. Only in one we send chicken eggs to cook, and in the other we cook chicken breast. These two processes are considered the longest in the preparation of this dish.
While water begins to boil on the stove, we are preparing the remaining ingredients. Open a can of canned corn, leaving a small gap, drain the liquid. We shift the corn into a salad bowl. From fresh cucumber, cut off the ends from two edges, then shred into long strips. Each strip, in turn, is crushed into cubes. Add the cucumber to the corn. There we send a pinch of salt and finely chopped dill greens.
The first pan containing the eggs should be on fire for 13 minutes. Chicken fillet is cooked a little longer - 25 minutes.
When both products are ready, they must be cooled. We clear the cold eggs from the shell, cut arbitrarily into small pieces. We cut the boiled chicken fillet with the same small cubes. We combine all the components of this simple salad of canned corn, season them with mayonnaise or sour cream, mix.
Corn and Crab Sticks
Probably, this is the most famous variant of a snack for the holiday table among Russian hostesses. A salad of canned corn and crab sticks is prepared in several culinary lines, using various additional ingredients. Each housewife has her own version of "crab", which is most liked by households and guests. Someone adds sour green apples or pineapples to such a salad, someone puts a large amount of finely chopped Beijing cabbage. There are even options with cream cheese and smoked sausage. But today we will bring to your attention, so to speak, a classic recipe or foundation that can always be supplemented and diversified.
Ingredients:
- 420 g of crab sticks;
- five eggs;
- a pinch of salt;
- mayonnaise;
- 220 g of cheese;
- 260 grams of canned sweet corn;
- 4 cloves of garlic;
- two large branches of dill.
Cooking method
Boil hard-boiled eggs, cool them and cut them into cubes. Defrost crab sticks without using a microwave oven, remove the film from them and also grind them into equal even pieces. We chop dill very finely. Grind cheese with a fine grater. To chop the garlic, you can use a knife or a special crush. Open a can of corn, drain the liquid inside.
We combine in a large plate all the prepared ingredients. Add a pinch of salt and mayonnaise.
The second recipe is "crab"
There is another common option that very often appears on holiday tables with Russian housewives. This is a salad of rice, crab sticks, corn and cucumbers. All other ingredients remain unchanged, as in the above list. Experienced chefs say that initially rice was not present in the recipe for this dish. But the Russian housewives, in order to save a little and make the dish more satisfying and nutritious, began to add boiled rice grain. The main advice is not to go too far with rice, otherwise you will get the feeling that you are just eating porridge.
Carrots, corn, cheese
Another interesting combination of ingredients. The calorie content of this salad is about 280 Kcal per hundred grams of the product. The list of ingredients listed below is for 4-5 servings:
- 320 g of hard cheese;
- one carrot;
- 4 cloves of garlic;
- 340 g canned corn;
- a pinch of salt;
- parsley;
- mayonnaise.
How to make carrot and canned corn salad
Grind cheese with a fine grater. And we use it to grate carrots. Pass the garlic through a crush. Corn is added to the salad without the liquid with which it was in the jar. We mix the ingredients with the addition of salt and a large amount of fresh herbs. Put a few tablespoons of mayonnaise in the salad and mix the contents of the plate again.
Some recipes use Korean style pickled carrots instead of regular fresh carrots. If you like more savory salads, with an oriental spicy taste, then such a carrot is perfect for cooking.
Salmon, Corn and Apples
As we said above, canned corn is a universal product that is combined not only with vegetables, herbs and meat, but also with fish. For cooking, you can use salmon or trout with weak salting. This salad option is perfect for holidays, banquets and gala evenings with a snack table.
To make a salad, you need to take the following products:
- 280 g canned salmon;
- onion;
- 180 g of cheese;
- five eggs;
- a pair of apples;
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice;
- ground black pepper;
- salt.
Cooking
To prepare this dish, canned salmon is used. Do not forget to open the liquid after opening the can. It is not required for cooking. The fish in the jar is so soft that you can grind it with an ordinary fork.
Hard-boiled eggs, pour cold water, cool and feel. According to the recipe, we separate the proteins from the yolks.
Onions are peeled and cut into very thin half rings. We send the onion rings to a small plate, where we also add one tablespoon of 9% vinegar. To completely remove the bitterness from the onion, you need to hold it in vinegar for about 25 minutes.
Using a fine grater, grind the cheese. We do the same with egg whites. Grind the yolks in a separate plate with a fork, as was done with salmon.
We wash the apples well, cut off the skin from them, and chop the flesh with a very fine grater. We shift the apple into a small plate, where we add lemon juice. This is done so that the apple mass does not darken.
We begin the process of assembling the salad. It will be a layered salad, so we lay out the products in small thin layers on a pre-prepared flat plate. The layers will go in this order:
- mashed canned salmon;
- onions marinated in vinegar (without liquid);
- some salt;
- mashed yolk
- a little black pepper;
- mayonnaise;
- apple mass;
- cheese;
- mayonnaise;
- sweet canned corn;
- egg whites;
- again a little salt;
- mayonnaise.
Salad can be laid out on the plane of the plate or make a small pot. For decoration, it is recommended to take several strips of slightly salted trout. They can be arranged in random order, or you can make, for example, a basket. If you twist thin long strips of fish and fasten them with skewers from below, you will get neat, pretty roses. Between the weaves of the basket, eggs, pomegranate seeds or halves of quail boiled eggs can be laid out.
Also great for decoration is parsley. Sprigs and leaflets can be used as an addition to fish roses. The perimeter of a salad basket can be decorated with cream cheese. Transfer a few tablespoons of cheese into a pastry syringe or regular plastic bag. Cut the edge of the bag, garnish with cheese the edges of the plate. By the way, roses (as on a cake) can be made from such cheese, decorating them with a salad with corn.
