Notes
- Kani Salad is made with crab meat and vegetables.
- The salad is usually topped with Japanese mayonnaise. I like to use regular mayonnaise mixed with lime juice salt and pepper.
- If you get fresh crab meat, use that to make kani salad or use canned crab lumps. I tend to use surimi crab sticks, as fresh crab meat is rather difficult to find in the market.
- My kani salad is with corn, which is a great addition and change of the regular ol' kani salad which you know from your sushi place.
- Try to use a crunchy lettuce variation for this salad to add some bite to it. You can add panko crumbs as a garnish to add little crunch.
- I forgot to add the panko to my salad bowl in the picture.
