"Olivier" with crab sticks and apple
Having prepared "Olivier" with crabsticks, we will at least get a little closer to the original recipe of this famous salad.

Well, we will try to make a salad without carrots, but with crab sticks. Ingredients:
- Packing of crab sticks;
- A large fresh jabolo;
- Chicken breast;
- 5 potatoes;
- Head of onions;
- 3 pickled cucumber;
- 5 eggs;
- Salt, mayonnaise.
Preparation:Boil chicken breast, jacket potatoes and eggs (all separately) in salted water. Cool the chicken meat, separate it from the bones and cut it into cubes. First cool the potatoes, then peel them and also cut them into cubes. Cut hard-boiled eggs, pickled cucumbers and crab sticks in the same way. Peel the apple and cut the pulp into very small pieces, and chop the onion very finely. Put all the prepared products in a salad bowl, add salt, season with mayonnaise and mix. If desired, you can replace the crab sticks with crab meat, and the pickled cucumbers with salted ones. By the way, for almost each of these salads you can use not only crab sticks, but also fresh or canned crab meat. Choose a recipe, try and prepare salads. Cook with pleasure, and bon appetit!
