NOTES:

  1. Crab Meat:

      The photo example was made with Artificial Crab Meat, and makes an excellent and affordable party salad. You can use Real Crab Meat if your budget can stand it. For details see our Surimi Products page

  2. Cucumbers:

      If at all possible, use small cucumbers that don't need to be skinned or seeded, such as Persian, Japanese or European. If you have only the standard waxed green blimps, peel them and seed them, then measure out the given weight.

  3. Serving:

      This is a very flexible salad. You can serve it in a bowl, spoon it onto crackers (cut Crab Meat and Cucumbers a bit shorter for this), or use it as filling for Sandwiches or Rolls. All good party strategies.
