Crab salad
Description
Minimum effort — excellent result. For the crab salad, I use a classic combination: crab sticks, corn, eggs, and mayonnaise. To help the salad hold its shape and prevent it from becoming runny, I added a bit of boiled rice and reduced the amount of mayonnaise. Thanks to this, the salad held up perfectly, stayed firm in the refrigerator, and remained just as beautiful and delicious several hours later. Check out the step-by-step instructions—I'll show you how easy and simple it is to create the symbol of the year for your New Year's table. Can be served immediately.

Step 9
Now the most important part: use grated egg white and sliced olives to arrange the ingredients, "drawing" the face of a tiger. For the tongue, I left a small piece of crab stick. The salad is ready; keep it in the refrigerator until serving.
