Choose the right crab meat substitute. For a realistic texture, use a combination of flaky white fish, such as tilapia or cod, and firm tofu.
Don't overcook the fish. This will make it tough and rubbery. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and texture to the salad. Good options include celery, onion, cucumber, and dill.
Use a light mayonnaise-based dressing. This will help keep the salad light and refreshing.
Season the salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
