Prep 10 min. Total 10 min. ⭐ Easy

The Story Behind the Recipe

This is the kind of crab stick salad you often find served as a meze in Greek fish tavernas. I enjoyed it and wanted to make it at home, where it costs much less and takes very little effort.

My version uses surimi and follows a simple approach. Add olive oil and vinegar, mix, taste and adjust until you like the balance. There is no need for a strict ratio, because some people prefer a sharper salad and others a milder one.

The Technique

  • Thin strips: Separate the surimi so it mixes evenly with the dressing.
  • Taste and adjust: Add the olive oil and vinegar a little at a time.
  • Herbs at the end: Spring onion and parsley finish the salad.
Ingredients

  • Surimi crab sticks: 1 packet

  • Olive oil: to taste

  • White wine vinegar: to taste

  • Spring onion: to taste, finely chopped

  • Fresh parsley: a little, finely chopped

Steps

Method

  1. Remove the individual wrappers from the surimi and separate or cut it into thin strips.

  2. Add a little olive oil and vinegar and mix thoroughly.

  3. Taste and gradually add more of either until you reach the balance you enjoy.

  4. Add the spring onion and parsley and mix once more.

Tips

  1. I used white wine vinegar, but another vinegar you enjoy will also work.

  2. Vinegars vary in strength, so add yours gradually.

  3. Adjust the quantities to the size of your packet and your preferred flavour.
