Cooking tips
It is important to cut all ingredients to the same size so that each piece is juicy and tasty.
Instead of tangerine, you can use orange or pineapple.
Add texture and freshness. Before serving, sprinkle the salad with finely chopped herbs—dill, parsley, or green onions. This will not only brighten and brighten the dish, but also add a fresh note that pairs beautifully with the delicate flavor of the crab sticks and sweet tangerine.
Choose the perfect dressing. Instead of classic mayonnaise, try a light yogurt sauce. Mix plain yogurt with garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. This will make your salad more nutritious, but no less delicious. Be sure to refrigerate the finished salad for 30-60 minutes before serving. This will allow all the ingredients to soak in the dressing, and the flavor will be more harmonious and rich.
