This easy Oh Crab Lah recipe gets you the signature SaladStop! salad at home, down to the sweet and spicy chili crab salad dressing.
This SaladStop! Oh Crab Lah recipe rewards those unfazed by the fake crab or the dubious nutritional value. The creamy dressing takes inspiration from Singaporean chili crab sauce: it’s sweet, spicy, and aromatic. The “crab” comes in via imitation crab sticks. A healthy-ish mix of cherry tomatoes, vermicelli, croutons, and crumbled hard-boiled eggs adds enough heft to make this salad a filling meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (170°C).
Spread bread cubes on a baking tray in a single layer. Toast for 5-8 minutes, or until croutons are golden brown.
Remove croutons from the oven and let cool completely before use.
Add all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Season with lemon or lime juice to taste. Set dressing aside.
Add the boiled eggs to a large bowl. Using a fork, mash the eggs into small, crumbly pieces.
Add the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, crab sticks, vermicelli noodles, red onions, and croutons. Toss the salad until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
To serve, divide the tossed salad between salad bowls, or transfer everything into a serving bowl. Drizzle with the salad dressing. Serve immediately.
