How to prepare Chinese cabbage salad with crab sticks
Before assembling the cabbage salad, let's make crab sticks. Cut them into pieces of arbitrary size. To make this easier, the sticks can not be completely defrosted.
Pour the chopped crab sticks into a deep, large bowl. It will be convenient to mix all the ingredients in it.
We will cut the cabbage into strips for the salad. We try to make it as thin as possible and not very long. Place the cabbage sticks in a bowl with the crab sticks.
Place the corn in a bowl where the cabbage and crab sticks are already waiting. We transfer it from the jar carefully so that unnecessary juice does not get in.
We will use low-fat mayonnaise as a dressing for our cabbage salad. First add a few spoons and mix. If necessary, you can add more.
It's best to add salt last. After all, many products already contain a considerable amount of salt.

- 100-150 g of Chinese cabbage;
- 70 g crab sticks;
- 1 medium sized tomato;
- 70 g hard cheese;
- 1 tbsp. l. with a heap of canned corn;
- dill, parsley;
- 1.5 – 2 tbsp. l. mayonnaise.
Recipe with photos step by step:
Chinese cabbage is the queen of its kind. Honestly, of all the types of cabbage I know, it is the most delicious and is just perfect for salads. It is neither hard nor too soft, not harsh, but not bland either - everything about it is balanced and perfect. Therefore, for salads, I try to use it as a green component that adds pleasant freshness to the overall mass. Cut Chinese cabbage into small pieces. 
The next ingredient for our salad is crab sticks. We remove the packaging from them and cut them into small cubes. The crab sticks must be defrosted.
Wash the tomato and cut into small cubes. Choose tomatoes that are not too soft so that they do not release a lot of juice when slicing.
We need the most ordinary hard cheese - “Russian”, “Dutch”, “Poshekhonsky”... That is, it is desirable that it be without any too dominant taste or smell. If you like soft cheeses, you can use them, for example, mozzarella goes very well here. But blue cheese is not at all suitable for this recipe. Cut hard cheese into small cubes.
Wash the dill and parsley and dry. And then, once dry, cut them into smaller pieces. Basically, you can use any greens you like - basil, green onions, etc. Just don't go overboard with the quantity if your herbs are too aromatic. 
We have prepared all the ingredients, now we can mix them. Place Chinese cabbage, crab sticks, tomato, hard cheese and herbs in a large salad bowl or deep plate. Don't forget about canned corn - you don't need to cut it or grate it, you just need to take it out of the can.
Add mayonnaise there. The ideal option, of course, is homemade mayonnaise, but if you don’t have it and don’t have time to cook, then, of course, we use store-bought mayonnaise.
Mix all the ingredients so that the mayonnaise is evenly distributed among them.
That's all, all that remains is to transfer the salad into the container in which you will serve it. Bon appetit!
