We had this for dinner last night and it was delightfully different and very delicious. The mild sweetness of the imitation crabmeat went well with the slaw ingredients. The dressing's sweet-tart flavor was a bonus. The spiced nuts were my favorite part and added so much to the flavor and texture of the slaw. This dish reflects a creative use of ingredients and it is something I would serve to guests. Thanks and good luck in the contest.3Reply
