Russian meat salads

Frankly, when your favorite social network saw salad recipe Gomelchanka, the reaction to it was quite predictable: boring, not original, and draws a maximum of C grade and 12-point scale of my own rankings. As they say, "Go to ignore."
But its simplicity and enthusiastic comments below the article (do not know which ones are true and which - not), he sowed the same seed of doubt. And suitable when you want to cook something tasty and not at all difficult, but - original, it turned up very soon.

Recipe for this salad from Chinese cabbage, shared with me girlfriend wife, when we were with her at a party. And the only thing from which it has kept me at once, it's from three make many mistakes in its preparation:
• Do not make it in advance, as crackers melted, and together with the cabbage will lose their "hrustyavost";
• Do not get involved with mayonnaise, it should not taste as though something dominate;
• Do not use homemade croutons, just purchased. And though this point for me was the most difficult (well, not like them, and that's it), I believe all the same experienced cooks and did everything she taught me. It is true in the near future I'm out of curiosity overcame me do it with homemade croutons and will compare the resulting taste.
