Seafood Salad With Shrimp and Crab

A Pinch of This ...'s Note:

This is my favorite spring and summer salad. It's a great opening act for any seafood dinner and it makes a really good snack or appetizer. I like it with Captain's Wafers. After mixing it, I pack it into individual 1 cup containers so it's ready to grab and go. I take it to work for lunch quite often. Cooking time is chilling time.

This was light and refreshing! I only used about 1 Tbs mayo and the rest was plain Greek yogurt; trying to cut out bad fats... I also used green onions rather than white onion since they are milder. I made 1/2 the recipe since I am the only one in the house that eats seafood and served it wrapped in a spinach wrap with lettuce, tomato and avocado. Made for Spring PAC 2013.
