I always prepare Coral salad for the holiday table. It is always in demand and is completely eaten. The salad is quite filling due to the fact that it contains meat, and crab sticks add piquancy to the salad. According to the standard recipe, tomato should be added to the salad, but I replace it with red bell pepper, I like it better. You decide for yourself what you like best.
Among other things, the Coral salad, if you have time, can also be beautifully decorated. For example, lay it out in the form of coral. This will not be difficult to do, but it will take time. When I have time, I decorate the salad like this, but when I don’t, I simply lay out all the ingredients in layers in a transparent salad bowl.

The story of the coral reef holiday salad
There are many interesting and fascinating culinary stories on the Internet. At our leisure, just like you, our dear visitors, we look through new products and traditional recipes in photo, video and text formats. Simply put, we read and see what’s in the kitchens of our competitors and culinary friends.
We got acquainted with the coral reef salad in the positive kitchen of the hostess Luda. For which I thank her and cheers. She performed the dish so interestingly and captivatingly that I wanted to immediately run for groceries and cook this miracle of the sea. But there was no reason, and here are the winter holidays, from which the family expects not only gifts, but also unusual culinary achievements. This is where the recipe of the Vietnamese sorceress came in handy.
Of course, in winter you will have to buy everything (not like in summer), but it’s worth it. The bright color, colorful appearance and pleasant taste of the coral reef salad from Luda Easy Cook will inspire you to new achievements and charge you with a positive mood.
1. If you prepare all the ingredients in advance, the salad will be ready in a few minutes. Let's start with getting everything ready.
2. Crab sticks, which I personally (as it should be) defrost only at room temperature, since after microwave they lose all taste, cut into small arbitrary pieces.
3. Take the egg, like the crab sticks, out of the refrigerator in advance so that it sits at room temperature for at least an hour, put it in a small saucepan, fill it with cold water, add salt and cook for about 8-9 minutes from the moment it boils. Then rinse it with cold water to make it easier to clean. Leave it to cool for a while, then peel it and cut it into small cubes.
4. It is better, of course, to buy shrimp immediately peeled, then you will only have to defrost them. If the shrimp are unpeeled, first defrost them, put them in already boiling water and cook for no more than 2-4 minutes. If you use large (king) shrimp, then the cooking time will be a little longer, about 5-6 minutes. Place the cooked shrimp in a colander and, when cool, peel them. We cut the larger ones into several pieces, and leave the small ones whole.
5. Wash the tomato and cut into cubes. I advise that there is not a lot of juice, either remove the juice along with the seeds or squeeze out the already chopped tomato.
6. Mix all prepared products in a deep bowl, add salt and pepper to taste. Season with mayonnaise and mix thoroughly. You shouldn’t add a lot of mayonnaise; the tomato will still give a little juice.
7. Wash the lime (I use lemon) well and cut into slices.
8. When serving, it is best to place the salad in bowls or low wide glasses. Top each with red caviar and lime wedges. I got 1 bowl, so I needed 1 lemon slice and 2.5 tbsp. caviar.
