Craving a flavorful Spicy Crab Salad This Kani Salad recipe combines freshness with a zesty kick that satisfies every taste bud in just minutes


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz of imitation crab meat, shredded
  • 1 cup of cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup of shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup of avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup of green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup of mayonnaise
  • 12 tablespoons of sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon of soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sesame seeds and chili flakes for garnish

  • Instructions

  • Prep your ingredients: Start by shredding the crab meat into bite-sized pieces. If using real crab, feel free to break it up delicately with your fingers.
  • Slice and dice: Thinly slice the cucumber and shred the carrots. Dice the avocado carefully—nobody likes mushy avocado in their salad!
  • Mix the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, and sesame oil until combined. It should be smooth and creamy with a lovely kick!
  • Combine: Toss the crab, cucumber, carrots, avocado, and green onions in the dressing. Mix gently; you don’t want to smash the avocado!
  • Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Don’t be shy—seasoning is where a lot of the flavor comes from!
  • Chill: For best results, refrigerate the salad for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully!
  • Serve: Top with sesame seeds and chili flakes if you like, and dig in!
  • Notes
