Martini Crab
"An appetizer, a salad or a light lunch? You decide... Artificial crab (surimi) is very well suited to this recipe, because of it's texture and color. A martini glass really shows off the variety of colors in this almost crab salad. Cheers!"

Excellent appetizer, very tasty and satisfying, the spices were pleasing to my taste. -
We love this recipe!! The ingredients sound strange, but when you are eating it you can't tell what it is. It all just blends together so well. This would make a great salad, too. Just serve on a bed of lettuce.

The best use of immitation crabmeat I've come across in a salad. The instructions were well written and easy to follow. I left it in the fridge for a couple of hours which allowed the spices to come together in the mayo. We really enjoyed this, it has a nice little zing to it and was not overpowered by the mayo. Good combination, carrot, green onions and tomato, complimented the imitation crabmeat. And it looked great in a wine glass, don't have any martini glasses, nice presentation, looks impressive. Will be making it again soon, have already had requests for repeats. -
Very nice, very pretty colors in this salad. I made it as a side to go with other salads and it complemented them very well. Thanks!
