Vegetarian Kani Salad

Preparation 20 mins

Serves 2

Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Wheat-Free

Vegetarian kani salad made with hearts of palm marinated in dill, lemon juice, and nori flakes, served with julienned carrots and cucumbers, topped with sesame seeds and spring onions.

Hearts of palm marinated in a zesty blend of dill, lemon juice, and nori flakes mimic the texture of crab which would usually be seen in this popular Japanese salad. This salad is plant-heavy making it an ideal choice for a quick and healthy lunch or side dish.


Ingredients

For the marinade:

  • 1 large sprig dill, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp nori flakes
  • ¼ tsp Hendersons Relish
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 110g hearts of palm, thinly sliced, lenthways

For the dressing:

  • 2 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp agave syrup
  • ¼ cucumber, de-seeded and cut into thin julienne strips approx 4 cm long
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and cut into thin julienne strips approx 4 cm long

To garnish:

  • 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Here is some of the change-making work we do…
