Summer Crab & Corn Salad
Jul 20, 2017
I really do love crabmeat, but honestly I can’t bring myself to buy the imitation kind because it is just not the same.
With that said…. I don’t always want to buy fresh crab legs and have to “work for my food” either (not to mention it can get a bit pricy)….So that brings me to canned lump crab meat!
Not only is canned crabmeat fairly inexpensive compared to fresh crab….it is REAL crab and the work has already been done for me!!
Here is a quick and delicious summer crab salad recipe I like to serve with whole grain crackers or stuffed in a whole wheat pita or wrap. Enjoy!
