CrabSaladWhat is it about crab salad?
It's so light, flavorful, and so very versatile.
This is an inexpensive, creamy and very flavorful, low fat, crab salad with low fat dressing, lemon zest and oh so very delicious and colorful!
Fresh crabsalad on a warm summer day is perfect for everything from a light lunch or picnic, to a large tailgating event or even when entertaining over the holidays.
Pair it with another salad or two and some fresh crusty rolls.
This crab salad comes together in just a few minutes, but makes an impression that lasts.
On a warm summer day, can it get any better than that?
This crabsalad recipe calls for fresh lump crab meat.
Of course that would taste best, but it is a little more more pricey.
Feel free to substitute if you wish.
Any kind of seafood salad like this is also great for picnics and the buffet table.
For entertaining large groups, we like to serve it in small tomatoes that have been hollowed out and a dollop of crab salad has been spooned inside. It makes a beautiful presentation and always seems to disappear quickly.
It is not just a summer salad recipe, but a great year round treat as well.
Crab salad stuffed little tomatoes really is finger food at its finest!
For smaller groups or luncheons, it's great served in larger tomatoes or on a Butter lettuce leaf or just alongside sliced avocados and tomatoes.
And for the casual get-togethers, we love crab salad in a tuna melt fashion to kick that classic lunch favorite up a notch or two.
Add shrimp for a delectable seafood salad sandwich recipe or a slightly different summer salad.
Adding seafood or chili sauce adds major flavor!
A great change for lunch!
