Cooking steps

1. Squeeze the juice from half a lemon into the container where the salad will be. I use very ripe lemons, so there's a lot of juice.

   Required ingredients:

   • Lemon: 0.5 piece

2. Peeled and pitted grated apple should be added immediately to the lemon juice. Mix it. This is to prevent the apple from browning.

   Required ingredients:

   • Red apples: 1 piece

3. Add finely chopped onion to the salad. Mix well.

   Required ingredients:

   • Onion: 0.3 head

4. Cut the crab sticks. I prefer them chopped finely. Mix.

   Required ingredients:

   • Crab sticks: 250 g

5. Add hot smoked salmon broken into pieces. I think very good canned smoked salmon can be used because the texture is similar. I'm adding a spoon or two of liquid from the salmon.

   Required ingredients:

   • Hot smoked salmon: 100 g
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste

6. Add torn young spinach and arugula leaves by hand. Mix.

   Required ingredients:

   • Fresh spinach leaves: 35 g
   • Arugula: 35 g
