About 30 min.
Preparation
Step 1
To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, use thick sour cream. The fat content is not critical. You can substitute sour cream with mayonnaise or plain unsweetened yogurt.
Step 2
Remove the plastic film from the crab sticks and cut them into small cubes. You may replace or complement them with other seafood, such as shrimp, squid, or lightly salted red fish.
Step 3
Drain the liquid from the canned corn. Pat the kernels dry.
Step 4
Boil the eggs until hard-boiled (about 9 minutes after boiling), cool them, peel, and cut into small cubes.
Step 5
Peel the onion and chop it into small cubes. If you or your children don’t like onion in salads, you can omit it.
Step 6
Wash the dill, shake off excess water, and chop finely. If you prefer, you can replace or combine it with other herbs such as parsley, cilantro, green onions, or a mix.
Step 7
In a bowl, combine crab sticks, eggs, corn, onion, and dill. Dress with sour cream, add salt to taste, and mix well.
Step 8
You can serve the salad directly in a bowl. Or, for a festive option, use a culinary ring (5-5.5 inches / 12-14 cm in diameter): place it on a plate, fill with salad, and press lightly. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Before serving, remove the ring and garnish with crab sticks and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
