In the late 1990s or early 2000s, when crab sticks first appeared in stores, crab stick salad became popular in Russia and Ukraine as an alternative to the famous Soviet Olivier salad. And it quickly became one of the most favorite dishes to serve on a festive table at the time when all the people lived in the grip of poverty. I remember making crab stick salad in different variations: with potatoes, with rice, with pineapples, with cucumbers etc. I still love this salad and I often cook it at home.

Tips:

The first secret is to cut ingredients into small cubes, approximately 0.5×0.5 cm size. In my opinion, it makes the salad even more delicious.

Mayonnaise is extremely important for the flavor. Choose your favorite mayonnaise with sufficient fat content (at least 67.5 %), not sour, unflavored.

Use canned sweet corn – it enhances sweetness.

Cook fluffy rice. Read here about how to do it quickly.
