Reviews on the topic of salad with crab sticks

Inga,
I myself really love salads with crab sticks and I want to tell you how you need to choose these same crab sticks to make the salad tasty. I work in a grocery store, so I have experience. Most importantly, look at the ingredients; minced fish (also called surimi) should come first. If not, immediately put the package back. Secondly, if the crab sticks have been frozen several times (and this is often the case with us), they will taste like rubber in the salad. Therefore, remember the packaging lightly - the sticks should not break or crumble, one, not be very wrinkled or too brightly colored, two, and there should be no ice inside, three. At the same time, they should be in refrigerators, because this is a deep-frozen product, at minus 18, so if the packaging is wet, melted, go back too. Well, also remember or write down - additives E160, E171, E450, E420 are prohibited in Europe, so be careful what kind of crab sticks you use for your salad.

Maria, review on salads with crab sticks
I would advise everyone to try adding a little, a couple of drops, to a salad of crab sticks, balsamic vinegar and mustard oil, all of which are now sold in stores. This will give salads with crab sticks a different taste, more spiciness, because crab sticks often look bland, and adding a lot of salt, I think, is harmful to beauty and health.

I read a previous review that salad with crab sticks often tastes bland, I agree with this, but there is a simpler dressing - lemon juice, there are lemons in almost every home. I advise everyone to try it, it’s delicious.

Despite the fact that crab sticks are not very popular in our area, my family and guests really like my crab stick salad recipe.

I grate an apple, bell pepper, cucumber, cut a bunch of green onions and mix everything a little vegetable oil and a few drops of lemon juice. The result is a light and tasty salad using crab sticks, but without their obvious fishy taste.
