Fantastic crab salad. A different dish to take to a potluck. Even my picky kids loved it! -
This is a great salad. The only thing I changed was that I used small shell pasta and replaced the mango with 2 peaches. The dressing has a lovely sweet tang that is perfect with the main ingredients, very popular at our buffet Christmas Dinner.
