Salad with fresh cabbage and crab sticks

20 min4 serv.20 февр. 2026 г.

Description

The salad is quick and easy to prepare. Crab sticks combine perfectly with juicy cabbage and fresh cucumbers. Corn adds a slightly sweet taste to the dish, so you should use a bit more salt than usual. You can add various spices and herbs to taste, such as ground Italian or French herbs. For a heartier salad, you may chop a couple of boiled chicken eggs or add small croutons—customize the salad to your liking. The salad is ready to serve.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    Prepare the listed ingredients. Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage head and rinse it lightly under water. Rinse the cucumber and trim the ends from both sides of the vegetable. If you bought frozen crab sticks, make sure to thaw them in advance.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Step 2

    Cut the cabbage head in half and slice into strips. Place the sliced cabbage into a bowl or salad dish and gently squeeze by hand, mixing lightly, so that the cabbage releases its juice.

    Step 3

    Cut the cucumber into longitudinal quarters and slice them into pieces. Add the sliced cucumber to the container with the cabbage.

    Drain the canned corn from the marinade and pour it into a salad bowl.

  5. 5

    Step 5

    Step 5

    Peel the crab sticks and slice them into pieces. Do not chop too finely so they don't turn into mush when mixed; the slices should retain their shape.

  6. 6

    Step 6

    Step 6

    Add mayonnaise of any fat content. If desired, it can be replaced with 30 ml of vegetable oil mixed with 10 ml of apple cider vinegar, or with sour cream of any fat content. In the latter case, the salad should be consumed within 24 hours, as that is the shelf life for dishes dressed with sour cream.

    Step 7

    Step 7
