There are a lot of recipes for rice salad and most of them are quite popular. Fresh, baked and marinated vegetables, cold cuts, poultry, seafood and fish go great with rice. The rice salad that I want to encourage you to prepare this time is a quick salad with crab sticks. The base of this salad is cooked rice, crab sticks, sweetcorn and pickles. The salad is seasoned with curry, sweet paprika and must be accompanied by mayonnaise and yoghurt.
This salad with crab sticks is great for unexpected guests, because it can be made in less than 25 minutes. All you really need to cook is the rice, and while it is cooking, you can cut the remaining ingredients. Cool the cooked rice – it will cool down the fastest when spread in a thin layer on a large plate or tray. Combine the cooled rice with the remaining ingredients and the salad is ready.
