Salads

Crab Salad

Crab salad (krabovy salat in Russian) is an Eastern European mayonnaise salad of crab sticks (surimi), hard-boiled eggs, canned sweet corn and cucumber, an everyday dish in Russia and other countries of the former USSR. It began with canned crab meat; crab sticks, made in the USSR from the mid-1980s, turned it into a salad for any day. The eggs take 10 minutes to boil and the rest is chopping, so it is under 20 minutes of work plus 30 minutes in the fridge.

Crispy duck salad is warm pan-fried duck breast sliced over crisp leaves and raw vegetables, dressed with soy, honey, ginger and sesame.
