Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz imitation crab meat
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 stalks green onion
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Place the imitation crab meat on a cutting board and shred it into smaller, bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife. Add the shredded crab meat to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber and carrot, then julienne them into thin, matchstick-size strips. Thinly slice the green onions. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the crab meat.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, coconut milk, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste if necessary.
Pour the dressing over the crab meat and vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad one final toss and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
Serve chilled as a side dish, in sandwiches, or alongside rice for a complete meal.
