Classic Crab Salad with Rice and Cucumber
Ingredients:
- crab sticks or meat - 200 - 250 gr.;
- eggs - 4 pcs.;
- boiled rice - 1 cup;
- cucumbers - 2 - 3 pcs. medium;
- sweet corn - 1 can;
- green onion - half a bunch;
- parsley or dill - half a bunch;
- mayonnaise - to taste.
To salt or not to salt - decide for yourself. I advise you to solve this when you try the already prepared salad. After all, we will cook rice in salted water, and salt is present in mayonnaise.
Many advise cutting the components of crab salad coarsely or into strips. But I recommend all the same fine cutting. But anyway, it's up to you.
First, boil the rice in salted water. I take one bag of parboiled rice, put it in boiling water so that it just covers the bag, and add a little less than half a tablespoon of salt. Steamed rice does not stick together in a salad, it is easy to mix it.
Crab sticks or meat (I prefer to take it) are finely chopped and sent to a spacious bowl, so that later it would be easier to mix the crab salad.
We do the same with hard-boiled and peeled eggs.
It is better to cut the peel from the cucumber, especially if it is tough. Cucumbers are also finely chopped.
Add finely chopped greens, rice and corn to the bowl.
ATTENTION! It is better to season salads with mayonnaise immediately before serving on the festive table. Optimally, for 15 - 20 minutes, so that the snack is saturated with dressing.
AND FURTHER! Put mayonnaise in any salad in small portions. A large amount of mayonnaise will not only make your salad “wet” and unattractive, but will also clog the taste of the ingredients.
Now it remains only to try and salt as needed. Crab salad is not seasoned with pepper.
Salad of crab sticks with apple
Cucumber in crab salad can be replaced with a green apple. And mayonnaise, which we use in most holiday salads and which, perhaps, someone is fed up with or does not like at all, is perfectly replaced salad dressing based on sour cream!
Ingredients:
- crab sticks or meat - 200 gr.;
- boiled eggs - 5 pieces;
- sweet corn - 1 can;
- boiled rice - 1 cup;
- green apple with sourness - 1 pc.
For refueling:
- sunflower oil - 3 tbsp. spoons;
- apple cider vinegar 6% or lemon juice - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
- dry mustard - 1 teaspoon;
- sour cream of any fat content - 1 cup;
- salt - a couple of pinches.
Set the rice to boil in advance. How to do this, see the previous recipe. And if you are going to use loose grain, then take half a glass of it in dry form. Regular rice will double in size.
Steamed rice, take in dry form only a quarter of a glass. It will quadruple in size when cooked.
While the rice is cooking, you can do the dressing. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Apple vinegar can be replaced with the same lemon juice. The consistency of the crab salad dressing should be like mayonnaise.
Finely chop the crab meat or sticks and the egg. Peeled apple also cut into small cubes. As soon as you add the apple, add some dressing. so that it does not darken, and mix well.
Now add the corn (remember to drain the liquid from it) and chilled rice.
Dress the salad with the remaining dressing. If you got a lot of it - do not be discouraged: it can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5 days. And you can always use it to make another salad.
Mix all ingredients well. We try. We add if necessary.

Preparing this salad is no more difficult than the previous ones. So step by step description not required. If something is not clear, ask in the comments. I will definitely answer you.
Finely chop crab sticks or crab meat, cucumbers, eggs and potatoes.
Cut the cabbage arbitrarily, but finely. It can be short straws or small cubes. Rub it a little with your hands so that it starts up the juice and is not too hard.
