Step by step preparation of crab salad with green peas and carrots
First of all, put the eggs and carrots to boil. Boil eggs for 10 minutes after boiling water. If the eggs are fresh, it will not be easy to peel them. To avoid such problems when cooking, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. And after boiling, immediately chill the eggs in cold water. It is best to place a pot of eggs under running cold water. These simple manipulations will allow you to easily peel even the freshest eggs. Cook the carrots until they pierce easily with a fork. Drain the water from it. Leave the eggs and carrots to cool. In the meantime, take care of other products. The salad can be served in layers, or in a large salad bowl, mixing all the ingredients. Use the Cooking Ring for portioned salad in layers. The salad will turn out beautiful. The first layer is crab sticks. Cut them into small cubes.
We make a mayonnaise net on crab sticks and distribute it with a spoon.
Clean the cooled carrots and cut them into small cubes. However, it can also be grated on a coarse grater. But the diced salad looks prettier. Do not forget to add salt to the carrot layer. We make a mayonnaise mesh.
Drain the water from the peas and put it on top of the carrots. You do not need to grease the peas with mayonnaise, it is already juicy.
Eggs are the penultimate layer. Here you can go in two ways - cut the protein separately, and make a layer of yolks on top. This option is suitable if you do not have cheese for the salad. We just cut the eggs into cubes. Do not forget to tamp each layer a little with a spoon or a special "piston".
The last layer will be grated cheese.
Salad ready. The culinary ring can be removed. Decorate it as you like.
