Wendell's Kani (Crab) Salad


Wendell made this a few nights ago.  He used an apple instead of mango.  It was veeery refreshing.  I'm thinking it would go good with some somen noodles.

The recipe is from the Simply Home Cooked website.

There was an article online that Japanese mayonnaise (kewpie) keeps the fruits and veggies crispier than regular mayonnaise. It did say the 1/2 fat works the best.

Izsmom, Wendell made it with our fave imitation crab from Chef Zone.

Aunty, it was exactly that!

V, I once bought the 1/2 fat one by accident, and I couldn't tell the difference.

yum! I don’t like the 1/2 kewpie because it doesn’t dissolve in water too well, figure must linger in your body too…

Interesting twist, apple instead of mango. Apples texture is crisp, fine and crunchy.

This sounds like a great salad! Gonna try

Kat, yikes!! Good thing I only bought it that one time.

Chet, mango seemed like a strange ingredient to me.

Susan, great!

Just wanted you to know this was a hit! I used both apple and mango-hard mango that was yellow inside. Also, I don’t know if you have the Osaki brand crab there but it’s the best tasting one here. Only thing is it’s $10+ for about 17 oz.

Susan, yay!! I'll keep an eye out for that Osaki crab!
