Crab meat salad
Description
The salad is quick and easy to prepare. Crab meat (not imitation crab sticks!) is a very delicate and sophisticated ingredient. Not everyone knows how to cook it properly, so as not to overpower or spoil the taste of the main component. This salad is very nutritious, so it can be eaten on its own, without any side dishes. It's definitely not a diet dish, but such indulgences can be allowed from time to time. The salad is ready to serve.
