Preparation
Step 1
Pineapple rings can vary in size. Small rings are easier to eat. Drain the rings from syrup and pat dry.
Step 2
Boil eggs until hard, cool, peel, and dice into small cubes.
Step 3
Remove the wrapper from crab sticks and dice into small cubes. You can replace or add other seafood, e.g., shrimp, squid, or lightly salted red fish.
Step 4
Dice cheese into small cubes. All filling ingredients should be roughly the same size for a better visual effect. Any tasty cheese works, from standard cheese to mozzarella.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine crab sticks, cheese, and eggs. Dress with mayonnaise and mix. Use a moderate amount so the salad doesn’t become too runny. Optionally, add chopped herbs (dill or parsley), cooked rice (2-3 tbsp), or diced cucumber for freshness.
Step 6
Wash and dry lettuce leaves. Place one leaf on top of each pineapple ring. Any lettuce works: iceberg, frillis, romaine, etc.
Step 7
Heap the crab filling on top of the lettuce leaf. The appetizer is ready to serve. If preparing ahead, assemble just before serving. Enjoy!
