Spicy Mango Kani Salad
Spicy Mango Kani Salad blends imitation crab sticks with crisp carrot, cucumber, and sweet ripe mango, all tossed in a spicy, creamy mayo-based dressing. The thin matchstick cuts and balanced dressing create a refreshing, textured salad with a touch of heat and tang. Served chilled or at room temperature, it can also be wrapped in lettuce or used in sushi rolls with avocado and sesame seeds to add richness and contrast.
