Easy Crab salad
This crab salad is made with simple ingredients. We use regular mayo, but you can try with Japanese Mayonnaise (Kewpie Asian Mayonnaise), which is creamier. Regular crab salad (Kani salad) you find in restaurants mainly uses lettuces, corn, and carrot, so nothing prevents you from adding them to the mix. Our ingredients for this imitation crab salad include:
- Mango: Adds sweetness to your crab salad. It’s best to use a ripe mango and slice it into cubes or strips.
- Cucumber: You can use seedless English cucumbers or small Persian cucumbers.

Directions
1. To make the crab salad: Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and then julienne into thin strips. Pull thin strings of the crab sticks lengthwise. You can also slice the crab sticks into more regular strips using a knife. Cut mango into small cubes. Add the ingredients to the same salad bowl.
2. Drizzle mayo and Sriracha over the ingredients and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Toss the salad together so all of the salad is nicely coated with the dressing. It should be nice and creamy.
3. Garnish the cucumber mango crab salad with chopped scallion, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and avocado slices if you like. Enjoy immediately! ❤️
