2 cups (cut into 1-inch pieces (or smaller if desired))
sour cream
2 tablespoons
mayonnaise
2 tablespoons
fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Tabasco hot pepper sauce
1 dash

Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, combine the surimi, sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, Tabasco sauce, minced scallions, chopped shallots (or onions), and salt (if using). Stir gently until all ingredients are well mixed. For a finer texture, you can break the surimi into smaller flakes, or leave it in larger pieces based on your preference.
2
Prepare four plates by dividing the mixed salad greens evenly among them. Use fresh, crisp greens for added flavor and presentation.
3
Top each plate of greens with a generous portion of the surimi mixture, ensuring each one is well-represented with the delightful dressing.
4
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs such as garlic chives, thyme, or dill. Adjust the seasoning to your liking; keep in mind that surimi is often pre-salted, so you may choose to omit additional salt.
5
Finish the dish by garnishing with oil-cured olives, either sliced or whole, for a beautiful contrast in texture and a rich layer of flavor.

Serve your Zesty Surimi Greens Delight immediately for the best taste experience, and enjoy!
