Great and healthy salad for lunch or dinner! Imitation crab is okay for this recipe. It's best if made the night before.

This salad was a disappointment. The crab meat was tough and the dressing was too vinegary.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better.

This salad is delicious, but it's a bit too salty for my taste.
