Kani Salad (Keto-Modified)
Real Crab Meat Salad with Keto Dressing
Yes, with a tweak: specify real crab meat only (no imitation crab sticks, which are carb-heavy surimi). About 4g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A refreshing salad made with real crab meat, often mixed with cucumber and a creamy, savory dressing. The keto version specifically uses real crab and a sugar-free, oil-based dressing.
Key ingredients
Real crab meat, cucumber, keto-friendly mayonnaise (sugar-free) or oil-based dressing, possibly a touch of rice vinegar or lemon juice.
How to make it keto
Crucially, specify real crab meat only (no imitation crab sticks, which are carb-heavy surimi). Request a sugar-free mayonnaise or a simple oil-and-vinegar dressing. Omit any high-carb additions like corn, potato, or fruit.
Say this to the waiter (Japanese)

For Kani Salad, please use real crab meat only. No imitation crab. I need sugar-free mayo or oil and vinegar dressing, and no corn, potato, or fruit.
