Description

A refreshing crab salad with crisp vegetables and a creamy dressing, perfect for summer picnics and gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb crab stick

  • ½ cup Japanese mayonnaise (or regular mayo)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice (or more, to taste)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha (optional, for spice)


Instructions

  1. Whisk together the Japanese mayonnaise and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. If you like it spicy, stir in the sriracha.
  2. Shred the crab stick by hand or with a fork, breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Combine in a large bowl the shredded crab stick, julienned cucumber, and carrot.
