Crabstick Salad


This is a left-over recipe idea. Last night I served a tuna tataki salad (which completely rocked!!!!) and having the salad ingredients, I resorted to a bit of efficiency.
- Green-leaf lettuce, cleaned and roughly chopped.
- carrots, peeled and cut into match sticks
- white onion (barely 1/5 whole) sliced super thinly
- sliced cucumber, peeled and seeds scooped out
- three imitation crab sticks, hand shredded
- fried garlic bits (i used TOO much b/c it's soooo good)
- ponzu sauce (used Kikkoman already bottled)
Layered as followed:
1. Lettuce down
2. Cucumber
3. Carrot sticks
4. White onion
5. Crab
6. Garlic
When about to serve, splash on ponzu sauce. I hate to dress before b/c it will seriously make the garlic bits soggy and the crunch is the best part.
This is a refreshing and cool salad to have; a great alternative to the creamy dressings.
