Easy Crab Salad
Crab salad is great by itself, on a roll, or in a wrap. The best part is, it's easy to make and can be varied.
Ingredients:
  • 1 package crab meat (found at the seafood in the grocery store)
  • 1 large cucumber, sliced and quartered
  • 1 box grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chives
  • 1/2 -1 teaspoon dill
  • 1-2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
Mix the mayo, olive oil, dill, salt, chives, and pepper together. Then toss in the crab, cucumber, and cherry. Toss well, and serve by itself or in a roll or on top of some lettuce.

This can also be made into a spread. Instead of chopping, simply combine all ingredients (except the tomatoes) in a food processor and blend together. Then use as a spread or a dip. Another way to make this is add chopped celery or take away the cucumber and use celery in its place.
No matter how its made, it is a good summer recipe and great for entertaining.
