Snow White salad with ham, cheese and crab sticks is very easy and quick to prepare. But it looks so appetizing, and its taste is so interesting that this dish, despite its simplicity, may well claim a place of honor on the holiday table. The combination of crab sticks and ham makes the salad hearty, and the remaining ingredients - cheese, cucumber and eggs - complement it perfectly. I recommend using as a dressing.

Ingredients for 1 serving:
- 50 - 70 g crab sticks;
- 1 small fresh cucumber;
- 1 chicken egg, hard-boiled;
- 50 g hard cheese;
- 50 g smoked-boiled ham;
- 2-3 tbsp. l. mayonnaise.

Step-by-step recipe with photos:

First, prepare all the ingredients. Remove the shell from hard-boiled eggs. Separate the white from the yolk and grate them separately on a medium grater.




Wash the cucumber and cut off the ends. We taste the cucumber for bitterness from the side of the stalk. If the cucumber is bitter, peel the skin. Cut the cucumber into small cubes. We also cut the ham into small cubes.




Finely chop the crab sticks. Grate the hard cheese onto a medium grater.




Line the portion form with cling film so that the edges of the film hang over the salad bowl. Lubricate the bottom with a small amount of mayonnaise.

Snow White Salad is a simple and delicious salad that uses white or off-white ingredients, which is how it got its name. I have been using this recipe for a long time, sometimes I make this salad for breakfast or dinner. There is another version of this salad with crab sticks, but that's a completely different story. I will introduce you to the classic version of the Snow White salad.

For the salad, prepare the necessary products from the list. Eggs must be boiled first.

Cut the Chinese cabbage into strips and place in a bowl.

Cut the boiled chicken fillet into cubes and add to the bowl with the cabbage.

Also cut the cheese into cubes. Instead of feta cheese, you can use feta cheese, but add it at the very end, as it crumbles a lot.

Divide boiled eggs into yolks and whites. We do not need yolks in this recipe, and the whites should be cut into cubes and added to the salad.

For the sauce, mix sour cream with mustard and lemon juice, add chopped garlic. You can add salt as desired, but since the cheese is salty, I did not add salt to the salad.

Mix the sauce thoroughly and add to the salad.

Mix all ingredients. Snow White salad is ready!

To serve, you can line a flat plate with Chinese cabbage leaves and place the salad in a mound.

Bon appetit!

To serve the salad in portions, buy not one large pineapple, but two small ones. Then you don’t have to put the salad on plates. Believe me, such a presentation will definitely be remembered for a long time. Choose a ripe pineapple. If the peel is yellow-brown and soft, the pineapple is ripe. Press the peel with your finger. After some time, the depression should recover. If this does not happen, then the pineapple is overripe and possibly rotten. Like watermelon, ripe pineapple can be “heard.” Tap it with your palm. If the sound is dull, the fruit is ripe, if it is voiced, it is not. Don't buy green pineapple hoping it will ripen in warm weather. Yes, its peel will change color, but the pulp itself will not be as tasty as if the pineapple had ripened under normal conditions.






Wash the exotic fruit with cool water and carefully cut into two equal parts along with the tuft.






Cut out the pineapple flesh, leaving thin walls. Drain off the remaining juice, then pat dry with a paper towel. These will be two salad bowls that will be filled with Snow White salad.






Rub the chicken breast with salt and pepper and bake at 185 degrees. It usually takes about 40 minutes to bake a medium-sized breast. Weigh the baked fillet and cool. For salad you need 200 grams. Cut into small cubes.






Finely chop the pineapple pulp. If you can't buy fresh pineapple, buy a can of canned ones. The taste, of course, will be inferior, and the original presentation will not work, but you will probably want to repeat the preparation of this salad according to all the rules.






Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Pour in cold water at the rate of half a glass of rice - half a glass of water. Add salt and bring the water to a boil. Then tightly cover the pan with a lid and simmer the rice over low heat until the water has completely evaporated and the rice is ready. Rinse hot rice with cold water. You can use not just plain long-grain rice, but steamed rice. But it usually has some strange aftertaste.






Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.






Mix all salad ingredients in a deep bowl. Add salt to taste.

Benefits of Snow White Salad

• Vitamin C participates in redox reactions, the functioning of the immune system, and promotes the absorption of iron. Deficiency leads to loose and bleeding gums, nosebleeds due to increased permeability and fragility of blood capillaries.
• Vitamin E has antioxidant properties, is necessary for the functioning of the gonads and heart muscle, and is a universal stabilizer of cell membranes. With vitamin E deficiency, hemolysis of erythrocytes and neurological disorders are observed.
• Vitamin K regulates blood clotting. A lack of vitamin K leads to an increase in blood clotting time and a decreased level of prothrombin in the blood.
• Cobalt is part of vitamin B12. Activates enzymes of fatty acid metabolism and folic acid metabolism.
