This recipe is quick, easy and delicious…Which in my opinion is the perfect type of lunch recipe! The great thing about this crab salad is that it can be made ahead of time, and chilled for up to five days in the fridge, which makes for a healthy protein packed lunch ready anytime you are! The creamy dressing combined with the crunchy sweet vegetables provides the perfect contrast in flavors! I like to serve this salad in a few different ways… It tastes awesome in a high fiber or lettuce wrap, served in a tomato or bell pepper, or even by itself! This salad recipe is extremely versatile, as it tastes just as good using tuna, lobster, salmon, or chicken if you aren’t a fan of seafood! Enjoy!

I made this tonight! I changed it just a bit since I don’t like crab. I used tuna as you suggested and it turned out great! I added some banana peppers to the mix and it added great flavor to the tuna. As a side, we had blue corn chips (aaa, yummy!!!) with some roasted red pepper hummus. YUM!

Tried this recipe today, had the tomatoes and been putting off making it because I just was not in the mood. I forced myself to the kitchen to put it together because I did not want my tomatoes to ruin. Such a mistake to put this off, it was full of flavor and just what I needed. So nice to find out I can make a salad without using mayo or salad dressing! Love that it has that added protein. Thanks again Ms. Katie for a great recipe! Enjoyed it very much, made a triple batch so I have lunch for several days. YUM!
