Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams imitation crab meat (surimi)
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 60 grams sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
Finely chop the celery, red bell pepper, and red onion into small, uniform pieces.
Gently shred the imitation crab meat (surimi) into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a fork.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, freshly chopped dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth and well combined to create the dressing.
Add the chopped celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and shredded imitation crab meat into the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. However, this step is optional if you're short on time.
To serve, arrange a few lettuce leaves on a plate (if using), and spoon the imitation crab surimi salad on top or serve as-is in a bowl.
Enjoy your refreshing and savory imitation crab surimi salad!
