During the summer, with hotter weather, light meals are usually what is on the menu. A simple crab salad like this one. You can make it ahead of time and mix it right before it is time to serve. This crab salad is low in calories but filled with protein (if you are using real crab meat, which you should). It makes a great appetizer, after pool snack or maybe even as a light lunch.
We enjoy crab meat salad on top crackers, in crab salad sandwiches, and more. This great recipe beats out any imitation crab salad. The best flavor comes from fresh lump crab meat, which you can find in the seafood department of any grocery store. If you know a trusted fishmonger, I recommend getting your crab from them. High-quality crab is not hard to find, but sure is rewarding to enjoy.
This easy lunch salad is one of the quick meals I like to put together in the summer. But it’s not only for the hot days.
