I must say this salad is very proportional in flavors creating a perfectly balanced out salad with no overwhelming ingredients. The melody of flavors create such a delightful bite as you can actually taste the salad and not have to detect one particular ingredient. I tried this salad at my mother-in-laws house and after trying it, I was totally in love with the taste! I loved it so much  I decided it was totally blog worthy, although my mother-in-law has the complete tutorial of this crab salad on her blog as well. So here is one delicious crab salad. I highly advise you to try this salad, as is and let me tell you, what a difference it makes when all the ingredients are proportional!

This Russian creamy crab and rice salad is made from veggies, crab meat, rice, mozzarella cheese and boiled eggs to make one delicious salad!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Imitation Crab Meat diced
  • 1 cup Cooked rice (1/2 uncooked rice)
  • 4 hardboiled eggs diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 15 oz whole Kernel corn drained
  • 6 Scallions sliced
  • 1 Red bell pepper diced
  • 5 tbsp Mayonnaise (heaping)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black ground pepper

Instructions

  • Combine all the prepared ingredients (make sure your rice and eggs have cooled) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Rice: Prepare 1/2 cup of uncooked rice to package directions. I like to use a short grain rice like Botan Rose since its sticky. 
Substitute for Scallions: Use 1/4 cup of diced onions of your choice for the place of scallions.

Q&A

What Ingredients are in the creamy crab and rice salad?

  • 1 (8oz) pkg of Imitation Crab Meat (leg style)
  • 1 cup of Botan Rose white cooked rice (1/2 cup uncooked)
  • 4 hardboiled eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 (15.25 oz) can of Whole Kernel Sweet Corn, drained and rinsed
  • 6 sprigs Scallions
  • 1 Red bell pepper, diced
  • 5 heaping tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black ground pepper

Can I make this without Rice?

You could but I encourage another ingredient to make up for the missing component. Try adding another vegetable or grain in the same proportion.

Can I make ahead this crab salad?

Yes! Since this recipe doesn’t call for lots of mayo it can be tossed in the dressing and sit well for up-to 1 day. If storing longer, toss in dressing before serving.

Tips

  1. Make the rice first for a head start!
  2. Chop semi-frozen crab sticks for a lesser mess!
  3. Use canned or frozen corn, just drain any excess liquid.
  4. Use as a spread over your favorite bread!

Made this salad today and it was soo good! Will definitely plan to make it ahead. Comes together pretty quickly once the rice and eggs are cooked.
