1 tablespoon orange juice
A few drops of lemon juice, to taste
A few drops of brandy, to taste

Where to find ingredients
You can find button mushrooms and fresh spinach in the produce aisle of your local supermarket (such as Woolworths or Coles). Kani-kama (imitation crab sticks) are commonly available in the refrigerated seafood or Asian grocery section. If you cannot find kani-kama, real flaked crab meat is an excellent substitute, though the texture and flavour profile will vary slightly.
Preparation method
- Allow the kani-kama sticks to thaw completely.
- Slice the kani-kama sticks into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Thinly slice the button mushrooms.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced mushrooms, cooked spinach, and the kani-kama pieces.
- Add the light mayonnaise to the bowl.
- Pour in the orange juice.
- Season with a few drops of lemon juice and the brandy.
- Toss the ingredients together gently until well combined.
- Divide the salad into individual serving plates or bowls to serve.
Observations
This recipe is a fantastic choice for a quick side dish or an elegant appetiser. The combination of tender mushrooms and the mild, sweet flavour of kani-kama creates a beautifully balanced dish that never fails to impress.
