<JAPANESE CRAB MAYO SALAD>
Updated: Mar 4, 2022
This Japanese crab mayo salad is know as KANI-MAYO salad in Japan.
I'm using crab sticks (imitation crab) instead of real crab meat to be more budget friendly.
This crab mayo salad is a perfect side dish to go along with curry. It is also a great option for a sandwich.
Make a batch and you can store it for 3 days.
Enjoy!

<Miwa's tips>
・You can swap crab stick for ham or canned scallops.
・Celery and cabbage are also great option in this recipe!
・If you don’t have Japanese mayo, please use any type of mayo on hand.
・The moisture will keep seeping out, so make sure to toss the salad before you serve it. Feel free to add extra mayo if it's too soggy.
