For the modified crab salad you will need corn, carrots, eggs, mayonnaise, and cheese.

«Dice a couple of boiled carrots. Dice four boiled eggs as well. Also dice the crab sticks into the mix. What would it be without them? Add a can of corn. Generously squeeze in mayonnaise, mix, and start decorating. I put it into a mold – mine is a heart shape. Sprinkle grated cheese on top,» Anna explains.

For the «Bear»s Coat Salad« you will need smoked chicken breast, garlic, green onions, carrots, eggs, cheese, walnuts, and mayonnaise.

«Dice the smoked chicken breast or ham. To the meat, press in one clove of garlic, add a drop of mayonnaise, and spread it as the first layer. The next layer is finely chopped onion. The third layer is boiled carrot. Next, grate the eggs. Don»t forget to spread a little mayonnaise on each layer,« Anna explains. »The next layer is grated hard cheese. Dry the walnuts a little in a dry skillet. Crush the nuts using your preferred method. I do it with a rolling pin. Sprinkle the salad with the nuts on top and put it in the fridge to set. These handsome salads are the result. They are very tasty, give them a try.«
