This Crab Salad with Cucumber and Tomato is a refreshing and delicious dish perfect for a light lunch or as a side dish for a summer barbecue. The combination of imitation crab meat, fresh cucumbers, and juicy tomatoes, all coated in a creamy garlic mayonnaise dressing, creates a flavorful and satisfying salad.

Ingredients

Scale

Crab Salad:

  • 1 lb (16 oz) package imitation crab meat, chopped or shredded into small pieces

Cucumber:

  • 1 long English cucumber, diced small

Tomato:

  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced and drained of excess juice

Other Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or to taste; can substitute with Vegenaise for a lighter version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crab Meat: Shred or chop the imitation crab meat into small pieces. For better texture and easier coating with dressing, shred it slightly. If desired, you can use a food processor to pulse the crab meat in batches.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Dice the tomatoes, draining any excess juice. You can remove the seeds to prevent the salad from becoming too watery. Dice the cucumber into small pieces.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped crab meat, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, and green onions.
  4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the pressed garlic cloves. Add the dressing to the crab mixture, stirring until everything is evenly coated. Adjust the amount of mayo to your preference—add more for a creamier texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve. It can be served immediately or chilled for a couple of hours for better flavor.
