This is quite good, but for me it had too much of the Zesty Italian dressing. Next time, I will cut it back to 2 tbsp. I loaded up some fresh onion buns with the crab filling and the colour was quite gorgeous with the red pepper and the dark lettuce leaves. Thx Dannygirl for the simple recipe.

Haven't tried this yet...can't help but wonder if it might be even better with real fresh crab, or even canned crab meat..or even prawns or chunks of fresh lobster tail, or even canned lobster. It sounds wonderful. Messy usually means tasty in my book. Sorry. i might try it with canned crab & with a lobster tail or some prawns. I'll report back. ;-)

OK, I got to the store and added red bells to this...to say that this is perfect would not be an exaggeration. I LOVE it. I have now eaten in on bread and as a salad...(I prefer the latter) ...and it is superb either way. I am so glad to have found this great recipe. Thanks, Dannygirl.

Sorry Dannygirl, but hubby and I didn't care for these sandwiches. They lacked flavor, and were quite messy. I thought the 1 red bell pepper was a bit much.

I just made this light salad for lunch and it is wonderful. The red pepper and the italian dressing adds a great taste, not like any other crab salad I have made. My son had his on bread, and I had mine on a bed of lettuce. We both enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing!
