Classic crab salad recipe - cooking secrets and ingredients

Classic recipe crab salad is very simple, the only thing you need to boil is eggs (and rice, if you prefer to cook with this ingredient in the salad).

Crab sticks

For salad, you can use crab meat or crab sticks. You can buy them in any store of different packaging or even by weight.

I buy sticks in packs (I take a few of 200 grams, 300, and even 500). It depends on how many guests there will be and what kind of salad I want to cook.

Corn

I always use canned corn good quality. Here it is better not to skimp and buy delicious, sweet corn.

Some people use boiled frozen corn, which they have prepared for the winter, but I prefer canned.

Eggs

Ideally, eggs are better to use homemade, but store-bought ones are fine.

Fresh cucumbers

Crab stick salad is tasty and fresh with cucumber. But it is not always possible to find fresh cucumbers on sale in winter, so the salad was supplemented with rice and the cucumber was removed. I think it tastes better with cucumber.

Rice

I usually boil rice round (can be long). The most important thing is not to turn rice into porridge, so I buy expensive rice (I like jasmine, or basmati)

By the way, you can add rice and fresh cucumbers to the salad.

Greens

Greenery attached bright view salad and spicy taste (I use dill and parsley).

Mayonnaise

Say you only use homemade mayonnaise, I will not, because there is not always time and opportunity to cook it.

Therefore, you can dress the salad with homemade or store-bought mayonnaise (you can choose the fat content yourself). Also, many housewives mix sour cream with mayonnaise or yogurt.

Mayonnaise in a salad acts as a link, so you shouldn’t add a lot so as not to weigh down an already satisfying dish.

salad decoration

You can decorate with green onions, dill, parsley, crab sticks, cranberries or lingonberries, orange slices, grated yolk or protein.

How to pickle onions for salad?

Some dish options involve the use of pickled onions, only the classic crab salad is prepared with green bows Or no bow at all.

Onions for salad should be chopped into small cubes. It is better to use white or Yalta onions, but not so sharp.

And if the onion is ordinary, then most often there is spiciness in it, then you need to pour it with a glass warm water adding a couple of tablespoons of 9% vinegar and a spoonful of sugar, a pinch of salt. Leave for 20 minutes, then strain the marinade.

When to dress salad with mayonnaise?

A few words about mayonnaise. If you are preparing a salad in advance, do not immediately season it with mayonnaise. Refuel before serving.

Especially if there is liquid in the salad, the salad will drain.

To salt or not to salt salads dressed with mayonnaise?

Many housewives salt and pepper salads, and also add other spices to taste and desire. But it is best not to salt salads dressed with mayonnaise.
