This salad uses imitation crabmeat. It's healthy and fulfilling, great for lunch. You can add more veggies or replace them to suit your taste. I've substituted the carrots and cucumber with cooked frozen carrots and peas and also some corn with very good results.

  • 3. Add Mayonnaise and fold into the above. THE SECRET TO THE THESE TOSTADAS IS THE BRAND OF "McCORMICK" MAYONNAISE/(MAYONASA MEANS MAYONNAISE). THIS IS THE MEXICAN VERSION. THIS MAYONNAISE IS FLAVORED WITH LEMON AND LIME JUICES. THIS MAYONNAISE CAN USUALLY BE FOUND IN HISPANIC MARKETS. I HAVE TRIED USING OTHER BRANDS, AND THE FLAVOR IS NOT THERE AT ALL. MAKE SURE YOU USE "McCORMICKS' BRAND. THIS IS WHAT GIVES IT A BANG.
  • 4. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of mixture on top of a tostada, top with 2 wedges of avocado. The tostadas can be additionally topped with chili Tapatio, or your own home made salsa. you can also add a few dribbles of catchup. These can be combined or separate, according to your taste.
