Salad Greens & Toppings- 3 leaves each of 2 types of your favorite salad greens (e.g., lettuce, romaine)
- 1/3 bunch of grapes (seedless Kyoho variety recommended)
- 1/2 can of tuna
- 2 eggs
- 3 imitation crab sticks (e.g., Kani Kama)
- 2 slices of cheese
- 1/4 can of corn kernels
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for the salad. You can use any greens you have in your refrigerator! Drain the oil thoroughly from the canned tuna. Hard-boil the eggs and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Slice the imitation crab sticks and cheese. Have the plain yogurt and canned corn ready.
Step 2
Wash the grapes thoroughly and pat them dry. Using seedless Kyoho grapes makes them much easier to eat.
Step 3
Cut the prepared grapes into bite-sized pieces. If there are any seeds, remove them as you cut so they don’t get in the way when eating the salad.
Step 4
Chop the salad greens into bite-sized pieces. Fresh greens will add a wonderful texture to your salad.
Step 5
Drain the oil from the canned tuna very well. This helps reduce any fishy smell and prevents the salad from becoming watery.
Step 6
Gently shred the imitation crab sticks along the grain. This will help maintain a tender texture.
Step 7
Hard-boil the eggs, then peel and cut them into your preferred bite-sized pieces (e.g., quarters or sixths). Boiled eggs add creaminess and protein to the salad.
Step 8
Cut the cheese slices into easy-to-eat pieces, such as 2cm squares. The richness of the cheese will enhance the overall flavor of the salad.
Step 9
Now, arrange all the prepared salad ingredients attractively in a large bowl or on a platter. Piling them up generously so each ingredient is visible will create that classic, beautiful cob salad presentation.
Step 10
Let’s make the delicious grape dressing! Finely chop 2-3 grapes for the dressing. The key is to infuse a subtle sweetness from the grapes into the dressing. If you prefer a smoother dressing, you can blend the grapes in a mixer.
Step 11
Add the chopped grapes to the plain yogurt you prepared and mix well. The tanginess of the yogurt and the sweetness of the grapes will create a fantastic harmony.
Step 12
And there you have it – your wonderful grape yogurt dressing is ready! It’s the secret weapon to elevate your salad!
Step 13
Your generously portioned salad and the appealing grape yogurt dressing are perfectly prepared. Now, all that’s left is to enjoy it!
Step 14
Drizzle the freshly made grape yogurt dressing beautifully over the salad you’ve carefully prepared. Ensure it’s spread evenly over the ingredients for the best flavor integration.
Step 15
Your ‘Plump Grape Cob Salad,’ made by bringing together all your household ingredients, is complete! It’s packed with calories, but bursting with flavor and nutrition. Enjoy this hearty and delicious summer meal!
