Ingredients
2 green onions
2 stalks celery
1 red bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 up frozen peas
340-g pkg imitation king crab
2 limes
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce, preferably chipotle-flavoured
1/2 tsp salt
fresh sprigs cilantro, optional
Instructions
Thinly slice onions. Finely chop celery. Core and seed peppers, then finely chop. Chop cilantro. Place all in a large bowl. Add peas. Coarsely chop crab and add. In a small bowl, squeeze 2 tbsp (30 mL) juice from 1 lime. Cut other lime into 8 wedges and set aside. Whisk mayonnaise, Tabasco and salt into lime juice. Drizzle over crab mixture and stir until evenly mixed. Cover and refrigerate up to 1 hour before serving. After that, salad may begin to water out a little bit.
Just before serving, taste and add more lime juice, if needed. Spoon into martini glasses, sundae cups or small bowls. Garnish with lime wedges and sprigs of cilantro.
