2. Peel the apple and pepper from the middle and cut into small strips.

3. Chop shallots into small cubes. Garlic feathers with thin arrows. Chop the parsley into smaller pieces, as it can have tough leaves.

4. Cut the crab sticks into thin strips about the same size as the pepper and apple. So the salad will be more beautiful.

Salad with crab sticks, red beans and sweet peppers

To be honest, I also decided to cook it out of curiosity, it seemed to me that such a variety of products should be delicious. I was not mistaken, I really liked it, as did my household. Now it is the turn of the guests at the festive table.

For the salad you will need:

• red beans - 1 can,
• crab sticks - 1 pack (200-250 grams),
• sweet pepper - 1 large,
• cherry tomatoes - 200 grams,
• hard cheese - 100 grams,
• garlic - 1 clove,
• mayonnaise for dressing
• salt to taste.

Cooking:

This salad is so easy to prepare, and fast, besides, that even serious preliminary preparation is not needed. All products are ready and it is only necessary to wash the vegetables, open the jars and packages, and cut all this variety into appropriate pieces.

To make the salad beautiful, you need to take the approximate size of the pieces the same. In such cases, I always start from products that are difficult to cut. Here it is beans. So we will focus on it, making the rest of the products close to it in size. Except maybe the tomatoes. Depending on the size, you cut them into halves or 4 parts if they are large cherry tomatoes. But you can leave the halves as a highlight, which will give an elegant look. All the same, cherry halves look beautiful.

Just drain all the liquid from the beans. It can be thick, then you can rinse the beans so that they are smooth and shiny. Just do it with drinking water.

Bulgarian pepper is better to take yellow or green, so that its color contrasts with the rest of the ingredients and the salad looks rosy. It will be very beautiful. Peel the peppers and cut into small squares, like everything else.

The cheese of your choice can either be grated or cut into cubes. I liked it better with grated cheese. And you do as you please.

Mix all the products in a salad bowl and then season. But salting and adding mayonnaise is best before you serve the salad on the table, as fresh tomatoes in the salad can release juice.

I add garlic to mayonnaise so that it mixes better and more evenly. I just put the mayonnaise in a cup and rub the garlic into it on a fine grater. Then I dress the salad with this sauce.

Salad with crab sticks and beans is ready and turned out just delicious! Don't swallow your tongues!

How to choose a good crab semi-finished product

• What should be the composition?

To choose a quality product, you need to carefully study its composition. The main ingredient in a good semi-finished product must be surimi (minced fish), which is made from chopped white fish fillets. Surimi is very rich in calcium, iodine, phosphorus and other essential vitamins and minerals. If this ingredient comes first in the composition, this means that its percentage is maximum in the finished product. If surimi is the next ingredient and further down the list, then most likely there is not much of it in crab sticks.

Often crab sticks are produced without the slightest content of surimi in the composition. It is usually replaced with starch, soy or egg whites, and various chemicals are added to enhance the taste. It is better not to purchase such a product, it has low taste and is not natural.

• External signs of a good product

Often a lot about the final quality of the product says the appearance of crab sticks. The shape and size of crab sticks in the package must be the same. Crab products are usually tinted on one side, the shade varies from light pink to reddish pink. Too bright scarlet pigment signals the use of an excess of synthetic dyes. You can also distinguish fresh crab sticks by texture - they should be juicy, but if the product crumbles or breaks, most likely it was frozen.

• What does the packaging say?

The fact that crab sticks have been frozen more than once can give away their packaging. Usually it is covered with a layer of hoarfrost, some ice crystals are present. Crab semi-finished products are packed strictly hermetically, the packaging must contain reliable information about the composition, expiration date and production date. It should be remembered that one cannot take risks when choosing fish semi-finished products, it is safer to purchase products from trusted manufacturers.

• Starch content test

Surimi is a rather resilient, elastic mass and is easily deformable. The way a crab stick behaves when you try to bend it can reveal the true information about its composition. If it breaks, it indicates a high starch content. And if only small cracks appeared on the spot, this means that the composition of the product is natural.

To check the crab semi-finished product for the presence of excess starch, you can try to unfold one stick. This can only be done with high-quality crab sticks, their layers will be well separated from each other. But if the stick has become sticky, and its layers have turned into a sticky mass, then the product is of poor quality and it is better to refuse to buy it.
