Surimi Salad With Greens (Jacques Pepin)

Submitted by duonyte

"Jacques Pepin says he keeps a package of surimi in his fridge for last minute appetizers or first-courses. This is a very nice, lightly dressed salad that you can adjust to your tastes. I make about half of it as a light lunch."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 cups surimi (cut into 1 inch pieces, I cut smaller)
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 dash tabasco hot pepper sauce
• 3 tablespoons minced scallions
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons chopped shallots or 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped onions
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 3 -4 cups mixed salad greens
• 3 oil-cured olives (I actually used Kalamatas)

directions

1. Combine all ingredients except the salad greens in a medium bowl. I reduce the surimi into smaller flakes or pieces, but it's up to you.
2. Divide the greens among four plates, top with greens.
3. I often add other herbs - garlic chives, thyme or lemon thyme, dill. I also omit the salt - surimi is salted, and I really don't think the salad needs additional salt, but do it to your taste.

Tasty salad and one we will enjoy for a light lunch. Made just as directed except I did not have hot sauce on hand - so I used a little sriacha. Thanks for this delicious recipe.
