Prepare ingredients and deep mixing bowl. Crab sticks, if frozen, must be thawed. I recommend using homemade mayonnaise. For a lighter version, you can replace some of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.

Step 2
Boil the eggs hard.
Pour cold water over the eggs to cover them completely, and place over medium heat. After boiling, set aside for 8 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs into ice water — this will make the shells easier to peel and they will cool faster.
Another little life hack for easy peeling of eggs — as soon as they finish boiling, tap the eggs on all sides with a large spoon to create as many cracks as possible on the surface. And then put it in ice water to cool.

Step 3
Cut the cheese into small pieces, about 1 cm long. It is convenient to use scissors.
-
Step 4
Cut the crab sticks into small pieces or separate them into fibers with a fork.
-
Step 5
Wash the green onions and chop finely.
If you use onion, you need to peel it, chop it finely and pour boiling water for 3-5 minutes, this will remove the bitterness from the onion. Then place the onion in a sieve to drain excess moisture.

Step 6
Wash the cucumbers, peel them, cut them into small cubes. If the core is very watery, remove it.
-
Step 7
Place the corn in a sieve to drain excess liquid.
If desired, you can use fresh corn, boiling it until soft. But canned cheese harmonizes better in this salad, as it overpowers the salty cheese with its sweetness.

Step 8
Peel the boiled, cooled eggs and cut into small cubes.

Step 9
In a deep bowl, mix all ingredients, pepper, mix well. Be sure to take a sample and, if necessary, add additional salt and pepper.
If you plan to serve the salad with braid cheese a few hours later/the next day, then you need to store it exactly in this form — without mayonnaise, and even better — without mixing all the ingredients. You need to dress the salad half an hour before serving.

Step 10
Add mayonnaise to the salad with pigtail cheese, mix and take a sample. Add salt/pepper/mayonnaise to taste. Cover and put in the refrigerator for half an hour to an hour.

Step 11
Salad with braid cheese and crab sticks is ready. It can be decorated with herbs and served in a deep bowl, or in the form of a “slide”, turning it over onto a flat plate. Bon appetit!
