Looking for a light, refreshing, and utterly delicious dish that caters to specific dietary needs? Craving the flavors of the sea without the seafood? Then prepare to be amazed by this Mock Crab Salad with Tehina Sauce! This recipe is a fantastic option for lunch, dinner, or even a potluck, and it's ready in a snap – just 20 minutes from start to finish.
This gluten-free and dairy-free delight takes all the best parts of a classic crab salad – the vibrant flavors, the satisfying texture – and recreates them with accessible, plant-based ingredients. The flaked mock crab provides a surprisingly similar taste and mouthfeel, while fresh celery, cucumber, and scallions add a delightful crunch and freshness.
But the star of the show is undoubtedly the Tehina Sauce! This isn't your average mayo-based dressing. We're talking about a creamy, nutty, and slightly tangy concoction made with silken tofu, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, and a generous helping of tehina (tahini). Fresh ginger adds a zesty kick, while a touch of hot sauce delivers a pleasant warmth that lingers on the palate. This salad is not only healthy, it's a flavour explosion! It's a wonderful alternative for those seeking a sustainable and allergen-friendly seafood alternative without sacrificing taste.
