What’s For Dinner Tonight? SALAD WEEK continues with The “Crab” Salad

Hey KS Fans,

It has been one heck of a crazy day! I have been slaving away in the kitchen with my trusty sidekicks Sara G. and Johanna cooking for a small business golfing event I am catering tommorow.

Between thinking and creating new hors’devors recipes that are not tired and cliched and drowning in cut vegetables, pasta cheesecakes and cupcakes – I have had little to no time to actually throw together dinner for me and my family. (I have been noshing a whole day taste testing  anyways)

So my fans, a video is not forthcoming tonight (so sorry -tommorow I promise), but because I am in a slightly “crabby” mood I am posting this terrific salad that would hit the spot tonight for dinner - If only somebody would make it for me!!!

I love this “crab” salad because its quick to prepare and filling to boot. I have it on good authority (my sushi chef David) that the fake crab tastes almost like the real thing. Who knows for sure – even so this salad is really delicious. It was a real winner in my old restaurant.

I serve this salad with some great homemade garlic bread or if I want to watch my carb intake some melba toast.

So till tommorw night – (I have an awesome Avocado Relish Salad)

Happy Cooking!

Hey Ks Fans,

As one of you pointed out recently since this post has been put up – SOme imitation crab might have crab juice in the product and not be kosher – I used in my store and in my home The DYNA-SEA Brand certified by the Chof K – and there is no such juice in the ingredients. – I can not vouch for any other brand so please check your labels carefully -:) Sarah
