CRAB SALAD Troika

CRAB SALAD Troika

1. Imitation Crab
2. Summer Yellow Squash
3. Cabbage

Prepare squash: Slice in half and core out the seedy interior until the peeling and a half inch are remaining. Slice long way and add correctly sized pieces to boiling water. Items may be added to the squash cooking for flavor. The squash should be cooked well. At least until the body of the squash is translucent. Possible flavorings; butter, onions, and garlic cloves can be added to the water, but should be removed before adding the squash to the salad.

Next: combine the three main ingredients appropriately in a mixing bowl. Also add cilantro. The Troika plan is for the three colors to appear in the salad: Pink, Yellow, and Green.

1. Mayonnaise
2. Cream Cheese
3. Sesame Oil
4. Cilantro

Dressing: In a separate mixing bowl combine cream cheese, mayonnaise and sesame oil and blend well. Make the dressing separately and add it to the salad just prior to serving. Since it is a seafood salad, lemon may be added to taste if the dressing is to thick.
