FAQ
Can I use imitation crab?
Yes! Imitation crab (surimi) works perfectly and is very common in this recipe.
Can I make it ahead of time?
Absolutely — it actually tastes better after chilling for a few hours.
Why does my salad taste watery?
Excess moisture from crab or vegetables. Pat ingredients dry before mixing.
Can I make it healthier?
Yes — use Greek yogurt instead of mayo or do a half-and-half blend.
Is this good for meal prep?
Definitely. It holds well in the fridge for a few days.
