This is actually a dairy-free recipe! I used canola-oil vegan mayo from Whole Foods.
Ingredients
- 1 package of imitation crab meat (2.5 servings)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- 2 small pickles, chopped (I used Chinese pickles)
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- other spices (chili powder, dried onion, whatever else you like)
- salt & pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (vegan canola oil mayo)
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2-3 tablespoons rice vinegar
Directions
Break apart the crab meat. Mix everything well. EAT.
Bobby liked his on fresh toasty bread; I liked mine plain. I think I had this with some roasted squash on the side.
I’ve been roasting squash a la Clare: cut up in pieces at 425F for 25 minutes. Here was delicata:
And kabocha (duh):
I just sprinkle some salt, oregano/dill, and cinnamon on them. I’ve heard you can use stevia, but I’m not a fan. Squash is sweet enough. I like to top them with organic, fruit-sweetened (or unsweetened) ketchup. My recipe is here.
Now have a sweet weekend! What are your plans?

I REALLY need to try kabocha – wish I could find it here!!
My plans = get well!!
Yay squash!
I almost got some imitation crab meat the other day- purely because it’s pink. Haha. Wasn’t sure what to do with it, but your recipe looks great.
Is kabocha hard to cut? I love butternut but it’s too tough for my knives.
Weekend plans: relax!
MMm….the kabocha looks amazing! I’m going to a farm harvest festival on Sunday and I’m soooo excited!
Looks delicious and I love the new layout. I’ve been on a rice vinegar kick so I’ll have to give this a try.
@insideiamdancing- I haven’t done it, but I’ve heard that microwaving winter squash for a bit can soften up the skin for easier cutting. Might be worth checking out.
You know, I used to eat a LOT of Imo Crab.
I used to warm it and make butterd sammies out of it (late teens)
I don’t even know WHAT it is, but I loved it!
I love your new updates too! very light and fresh!
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll!
you’re the coolest!
I’m off for some word LOVE!

happy Friday
Lovvvvving the new layout!!!
I love imitation crab meat salads. Try adding frozen peas next time! They add a nice crisp sweet pop.
I’ve never roasted my squash like that, I need to try it!
Just found your blog and I think I will really enjoy it! Holy recipes!
I love imitation crab! It’s so good. Haha, that salad looks great.
Its my cousin’s birthday tomorrow so I’m just going to spend the day with him. Hopefully I’ll get some shopping in on Sunday.

Cute title for your salad. It looks tasty. And the delicata squash looks really yummy. I like your seasoning idea.
Ooh that looks so good! Where do you get imitation crab meat from?
I love dipping squash in ketchup – it’s a perfect combo. I need to try kobocha. I haven’t seen it anywhere so I might need to hunt it down.
yum yum maggie! do you eat the delicata skins too? love em. what’s a chinese pickle?
That sounds fantastic my dear! Have you tried making your own mayonnaise?
I recently got some kabocha! I’ll definitely take your spicing suggestions!
Fabulous looking kabocha!! Must find that!!
<3 jess
I don’t really like delicata. It can’t compare to kabocha imo, don’t you agree?
But wow, way to go with the spices in that sealeg salad!
Love the new look!
I have only had imitation crab meat once I think.
I wish I could find kabocha!!! Hopefully I can find it at WF soon since the colder months are coming.
