red bell pepper – 150 gr.;

How to make Red Sea salad

Wash the red bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds. Cut it into strips. Place the pieces in a deep bowl.

Cut the crab sticks into strips. Add them to the peppers. If you don't eat crab sticks, you can easily substitute squid or shrimp. The salad will be just as delicious.

Wash the tomatoes under running water. Cut them into strips, like the other ingredients, and add to the bowl. To prevent the salad from becoming watery and mushed, use only plump, firm, ripe tomatoes.

Grate hard cheese on a coarse grater and also place it in a container.

Season the dish with salt, spices, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly with a spoon.

Done. Before serving, garnish the dish with a sprig of fresh herbs.

There's no need to refrigerate it. It's best to serve the salad in a medium-sized bowl or salad bowl.

This dish is perfect for both a weekday and a festive lunch. It's a great help in case of an unplanned feast, as it's very quick to prepare. What's more, you can experiment with the salad's ingredients: add other seafood, hard-boiled eggs, and more. That's why it's definitely worth trying at home.
