Ingredients for Crab Stick Salad
For 4 to 6 servings, you will need:

4 hard-boiled eggs
4 packs of crab sticks (surimi) – about 300 g
2 cans of tuna (optional, but highly recommended)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Simple, right? And the best part is that you probably already have most of these ingredients in your fridge. Now, let’s move on to the preparation, which is even easier.
Step-by-Step Preparation
Blend the main ingredients: Place the crab sticks, hard-boiled eggs, and salt into the Thermomix bowl. Set it for 7 seconds at speed 4. If there are still large chunks, scrape down the sides with the spatula and blend for another 2 seconds at speed 4.
Add the mayonnaise: Add the mayonnaise, and if you’ve decided to use tuna, now’s the time to add it. Mix well with the spatula until everything is fully integrated.
Serve and enjoy: You can refrigerate it for a few minutes before serving to make it even fresher. Serve it on toast, fill vol-au-vents with it, or pair it with some crispy crackers. Guaranteed success!
Tips to take it to the next level
Add crunch: Toss in some sweet corn, chopped pickles, or even chopped walnuts for an extra texture.
Try other sauces: If you want a different twist, swap the mayonnaise for a mixture of Greek yogurt and mustard.
Use it in sandwiches and wraps: This salad is perfect for filling sandwich bread or wheat tortillas with some lettuce and tomato.
In less than 10 minutes, you’ve got a versatile, delicious recipe with that easy yet impressive touch we all love. Ready to try it?
