Appetizer Salad
Description
A delicious appetizer for any gathering. I spent only 15 minutes making it, and ended up with such a nice-looking appetizer, didn’t I?

There’s nothing complicated in the recipe—everything is easy and quick. Read more: The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

So, prepare the ingredients. Boil the eggs, cool them, and peel off the shells. Remove the crab sticks from their cellophane wrappers. Drain the olives.

Step 2
On the finest grater, grate the cheese, eggs, and crab sticks. Set aside one third of the crab flake mixture separately for coating the balls. Add mayonnaise. Salt and other spices to taste; I didn't add anything, not even salt — to my taste, everything was already sufficient. Mix well.

Step 3
Roll balls from the cheese-crab mixture; size doesn't matter—make them however you like. Mine are roughly the size of a walnut. Roll each ball in crab flakes.

Step 4
Place the balls on lettuce leaves. Cut the olives in half and put each half on a ball, pressing down lightly. And your "Christmas tree ornaments" are ready. Happy upcoming holidays!
