Tips when cooking: I garnished this salad with fennel fronds. You can use chives, parsley, dill , or mint if you don’t have fennel fronds. I absolutely love having surimi in my fridge . It is so versatile and has a long shelf life. I like to snack on it. You can throw it in a soup, stir-fry, casserole. This is one of my favorite go to salads. It is simple, refreshing with bright flavors.
