ASIAN CALIFORNIAN MEXICAN FAUX CRAB SALAD



Asian Californian Mexican Faux Crab Salad image

I found a recipe on a fun food blog -- SingleGuyChef -- that looked absolutely perfect for me, had most of my favorite foods all combined together, except for one thing, it wasn't kosher. So with a little playing around, I came up with this. Good thing I'm good at adapting... ;-)

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup of diced red pepper
2 tomatoes, cored and chopped
2 scallions, thinly and prettily sliced on the diagnol
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped coriander leaves
2 teaspoons of minced hot pepper, remove the seeds and veins
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 ripe avocados, small dice
2 -3 tablespoons lime juice
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
sour cream, for topping (use your discretion, or lack of...)
2 1/2 cups surimi
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons shredded nori
1 teaspoon sesame oil
more sea salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a glass bowl, toss together the ingredients for the salsa. Season with salt and pepper and set aside to let the flavors build. SingleGuyChef says to let it sit for an hour but 30 minutes is also okay.
  • Combine the chopped avocado and lime juice, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  • In another glass bowl, add all of the ingredients for the faux crab.
  • Toss, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Okay, now for the combining the three bits:.
  • You could make the crab the base, then the avocado, then the salsa, topped with sour cream.
  • Or -- you could make the avocado the base, topped with crab, then with salsa, then with sour cream.
  • Or -- you could spread a nice base of salsa, top with the crap and then add the avocado, sour cream on top or to the side.
  • Or -- well, start using your imagination, you don't need me to tell you how to do everything, do you?.
  • I've served these in our house as an appetizer in oversized martini glasses. I'll let you guess the order I layered the bits -- ;-).

This has always been a crowd pleaser in my home. This is wonderful as an appetizer served on tostadas or even with tortilla chips. Make sure to refrigerate before you serve, it tastes best when very cold. I like to serve on tostadas with a thin layer of mayonnaise for a nice refreshing lunch.

  • Make it ahead of time: This salad can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy weeknights. Just store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
