Ingredients- 1/4 yellow bell pepper
- 1/4 red bell pepper
- 1/2 cucumber
- 1 sausage
- 1 crab stick (surimi)
- 1/4 carrot
- 8 quail eggs
- 150ml mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/3 tbsp salt
- 3 tbsp raisins
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the fresh vegetables and ingredients for your salad. You’ll need 1/4 yellow bell pepper, 1/4 red bell pepper, 1/2 cucumber, 1 sausage, 1 crab stick (surimi), 1/4 carrot, and 8 quail eggs. Make sure to wash them all thoroughly. The colorful array of ingredients will make your salad look incredibly appetizing!
Step 2
Now, let’s get everything chopped! First, boil the quail eggs until cooked, then peel and cut them in half. For the bell peppers, cucumber, sausage, crab stick, and carrot, julienne them finely. For the cucumber, consider using a channel knife to create ridges before slicing; this not only makes them look pretty but also helps remove the watery seeds. Combine all these prepared ingredients in a bowl, ready for mixing.
Step 3
Time to whip up a delicious dressing! In a mixing bowl, add a generous 150ml of creamy mayonnaise. Next, stir in 1 tablespoon of tangy whole-grain mustard. This combination is key to balancing the salad’s flavors, preventing it from being too rich and adding a wonderful depth.
Step 4
Let’s add the finishing touches to our dressing for that perfect sweet and savory balance. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar for sweetness and 1/3 tablespoon of salt to enhance all the flavors. For a delightful burst of sweetness and a chewy texture, toss in 3 tablespoons of raisins. These additions will truly elevate your Mexican salad.
Step 5
Combine all the chopped ingredients and the prepared dressing in the bowl. Gently toss everything together, ensuring that every piece is coated evenly with the dressing. Mix with care to maintain the texture of the vegetables and other components. The mingling of fresh flavors with the zesty dressing will be divine!
Step 6
Once everything is well mixed, transfer your vibrant Mexican salad to a serving plate. For a final flourish, sprinkle some crushed peanuts over the top for added crunch and nutty flavor. Your delicious and satisfying Mexican salad is now ready to be enjoyed as a refreshing and hearty meal!
