Crab Salad with Ponzu-Mayonnaise Dressing Recipe | JustOneCookbook.com I hope everyone had a good weekend.  We had our family pictures taken outdoor by a photographer on Saturday.  Since the kids were born, we have had family portraits taken twice a year, once around Thanksgiving for Christmas cards and another around our kids’ birthdays (April and May).  Hopefully the pictures will turn out great!  I also asked for my solo portrait so I can finally update my picture on the blog.

Today I will share a salad recipe.  This salad can be served with Western meal or Asian meal.  The dressing is made of mayonnaise and Ponzu, and you are probably wondering what this would taste like.  Maybe the combination sounds strange to you, but you will likely be addicted to this refreshing taste!

    Hi Hanan! Ponzu is a citrus-based sauce. The sauce is made from mirin, rice vinegar, bonito flakes, konbu and juice of yuzu or other Japanese citrus fruits is added. This is the most major bland Ponzu.

    Love your website. My crab stick didn’t break into tiny shreds when I mixed into the salad. Any tips on how to make them break apart quicker then me shredding every stick into tiny pieces?

    Hi Rainy!

    Usually Japanese brand crab sticks separate into thin strings. I’ve seen other non-Japanese brands tend to have a texture that’s stick as one big chunk. Hope you can find of stick into thick bold stick.

    Here’s one of brand I like. It’s thinner than a non-Japanese brand crab sticks.

    Hope you can find these – taste and texture is better too. :)
