Salad with tomatoes and crab meat
This dish only takes a few minutes. Even if friends suddenly drop by to see you, you will have time to honor them with something tasty.
Required ingredients:
- Tomatoes – 5 pcs.;
- Eggs – 5 pcs.;
- Cream or kefir – 6 tbsp. l.;
- Garlic - 3 cloves;
- Mayonnaise – 4 tbsp. l.;
- Crab meat or sticks - packaging;
- Spices.
Soft-boiled eggs should be peeled and set aside for a while. Next, when they have cooled down, cut them into thin strips (about 0.5 cm). We do the same procedure with our tomatoes and crab meat. Pour all the ingredients into a working container. In a separate bowl, mix chopped garlic cloves, sour cream, spices and herbs, add mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly. Lightly add some salt to the ingredients and pour in the resulting mayonnaise dressing. Now all that remains is to mix the ingredients and place them in a beautiful salad bowl.
It is recommended to put it on the table as soon as all the ingredients are mixed. Tomatoes have the property of releasing juice, which will spoil not only the taste, but also the appearance of the food as a whole.
Salad "Goldfish"
This recipe will certainly become a real decoration for the celebration, and its rich taste will delight and surprise your household.
What is necessary:
- Crab sticks – 200 g;
- Sprats – 250g;
- Small tomatoes – 4 pcs.;
- A jar of canned corn;
- Eggs – 4 pcs.;
- Pickled cucumber – 1 pc.;
- Spices;
- A small package of mayonnaise or ready-made sauce;
- Soy sauce;
- Any spicy herb.
If crab sticks were stored in the freezer, they must be removed from there a few hours before cooking to drain excess liquid.
First of all, you need to boil the eggs. They should be soft-boiled. Peel the shells and cut into small pieces. Next, take the corn, put it in a colander to get rid of the water and add it to the eggs. We cut the remaining products similarly to eggs and combine everything together. In the working container, you need to add the fish, after first separating it from the oil and chopping it with a fork.
In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise and 5 tbsp. l. soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the salad.
Serve in small salad bowls, sprinkled with herbs. You can also put it in the shape of a fish. But to make it more realistic, you will need to leave 2 crab sticks for decoration.
The first stick needs to be carefully unwound and cut into thin strips - this will imitate the tail and fins. The eyes can be made from green or black olive. Thinly slice the second stick into slices and make scales. We carefully lay them out along the entire perimeter of the fish’s body, except for the head. The mouth is cut from two tomato slices. The dish is ready, all that remains is to put it in the refrigerator and wait for the guests to arrive.
