OMG this salad was soooo yum and such a fluke… I love a Japanese cold crab salad but it’s filled with mayo so I wanted to change it up and make a more healthy creamy dressing… this worked like a dream and was devoured! Made with easy to find (and cheap) crab sticks (I love the Vici Surimi Royale ones from @ocadouk, only £1.60!!)
1. Cook the soba noodles according to packet instructions, drain and rinse with cold water, set asideIngredients
