Ingredients

1/2 large white cabbage, finely shredded
2 large carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
454 grams crab meat or surimi, shredded or flaked
1 cup canned corn, well drained
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded surimi or crab meat, thinly sliced carrots, shredded cabbage, drained corn, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
Step 2: In a smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and toasted sesame seeds until smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently with salad tongs until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 4: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 5: Before serving, stir the salad to redistribute the dressing. Serve chilled as a refreshing side or light main.

Tips & Variations

For a lighter version, substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
Use fresh crab meat when available for an authentic flavor, or surimi as a budget-friendly alternative.
Make the salad a day ahead to enhance the taste, but keep refrigerated.
Adjust the seasoning with additional lemon juice or pepper to suit your taste.

Storage

Store the salad covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving. Avoid freezing as the texture of the vegetables and dressing may change upon thawing.

FAQs

Can I use fresh crab meat instead of surimi?

Yes, fresh crab meat works wonderfully and adds a more delicate, authentic flavor. Just ensure it is picked clean and separated into flakes.

How long should I chill the salad for best flavor?

Chilling for at least two hours allows the dressing to infuse the salad ingredients fully, improving the taste significantly. Preparing it the day before is ideal.
