Just one ingredient can change the taste of a familiar dish. An example of this is a fresh and delicious salad with cabbage, crab sticks and a poached egg. It is perfect as an appetizer for any side dish: boiled rice, mashed potatoes, boiled spaghetti … Crab sticks go well with cabbage. Canned corn and a few eggs are invariably added to the salad. But today I replaced corn with fresh cucumber, and did not boil the eggs, but made poached. Thanks to this change in the recipe, the salad turned out to be especially fresh and with an interesting taste. Garlic in the salad is optional, add optional. In the spring, the salad can be made with young early cabbage, and in winter it is better to replace it with Peking cabbage.
Thanks to the crab sticks, the salad turned out to be more satisfying and with an interesting taste. Poached egg adds extra tenderness and piquancy. During the meal, the yolk spreads, mixes with food and plays the role of a kind of dressing. And as a dressing, I used olive oil, which can be replaced with regular vegetable oil or a mixture based on oil and lemon juice. Such a salad is good both as an independent dish and as a complete addition to meat or fish dishes. It's very simple to prepare, so if you don't want to cook dinner, then this is a great option for a light and hearty snack. While you are chopping all the products, the poached is already cooked and the salad is ready.
