Crab stick and cucumber salad is a light, refreshing dish of European cuisine that is perfect as an appetizer or a light dinner. Its base consists of tender crab sticks, crunchy fresh cucumbers, and juicy cherry tomatoes complemented by tangy olives. All ingredients are united by a fragrant sauce made of olive oil, garlic, and chopped parsley that gives the dish a distinct flavor with a slight tangy note. The salad is not only tasty but also dietary—it is rich in protein and vitamins, and the absence of heavy ingredients makes it easy on the stomach. This recipe is great for the summer season when one craves freshness and minimal cooking. It is served with sprigs of parsley for added aroma and visual appeal.
