Expert Tips

Surimi is mild-flavored white fish, such as Alaskan pollock, that has been shaped and colored to resemble shellfish. The most common surimi is imitation crabmeat, available in sticks, chunks and flakes. Look for refrigerated or frozen surimi in the fish department of the grocery store.

Pre-sliced mango, in jars in the produce department, is a time-saver as well as a guarantee of ripe fruit for this salad.

My husband and I both really liked this and it was surprisingly filling! The mix of flavors was delightful!! The only change I made was using tri-color rotini for the pasta.

I just made this today and served it for luncheon to 12 Bunco ladies. We all really liked it - especially because it is so light and not a heavy pasta salad. Definitely a keeper!
