Seafood cocktail salad
Description
Perfect for everyday meals. This healthy and figure-friendly dish will appeal to all seafood lovers. Seafood mix is usually sold frozen, yet it retains almost all of its nutritional properties. I suggest boiling the seafood, but you can also sauté it in a pan to give the salad a new and interesting flavor. For dressing, you can use not only olive oil but also regular mayonnaise, which many are accustomed to. Preparation takes just 10–15 minutes, so if you have all the necessary ingredients, be sure to try this recipe. Garnish as desired and serve.

Cut each cucumber in half, then slice into half-moons. Try to make them not too thin and of uniform size. If the skin is too thick or bitter, be sure to peel it off, otherwise the salad's taste won't be as pleasant.
