In our country, crab salad is considered a winter dish and is most often served at the New Year's table. And why, actually? In fact, if you get away from the mountain of rice and sliced eggs, then crab salad will fit perfectly into the summer . Our recipe editor Vera Zheleznyak came up with an unusual recipe that includes fresh cucumber, daikon, sesame and sriracha sauce. The result is an ideal juicy summer snack that teases with otherworldly aromas and, let's face it, whets your appetite for a drink. B u t to please the season - only mojito (find the non-alcoholic version at the link).
