Kani salad is one of Japanese style salad that has been served in many restaurants across the States. Though vary a bit here and there, the ingredients remain the same mostly with mango, imitation crab meat and cucumber.

To add some binding and creamy, I add mayonnaise, just the regular kind along with some lime juice and bit of salt. These will help keep the vegetable and fruit from drying and discoloring also.

To add some nutritional values, I would top the salad with avocado and garnish with roasted sesame to add to aroma. The overall dish taste so cool and refreshing that would blow away any heat-flash or tiresome.

Of course salad taste better when it’s call, so does this mango kani salad. With cucumber, mango, and carrots, all these ingredients are asking to be chilling good to have their crisp texture and fun to the mouth,

If you want to make this salad as a light meal, adding smoked salmon will complement the whole flavor so well. Of course any other sashimi can be added as well if you can stand raw-fishes or if not, try boiled chicken breast.
