Fabulous! I plan to add a few crushed wasabe peas next time for some crunch and spice.

This is just the perfect salad for a hot summer day! I added a little Old Bay to mine

This truly is a refreshing and light salad. No heavy dressings, just wonderful lime and cilantro! I added some chopped onion, otherwise made it just as written. Fabulous lunch! I'll make this again. Thanx for sharing the recipe.

I've had variations of this before, but never thought to add the crab. I really enjoyed and found it quite filling even though I only used 4 oz of crab. I did tweak the recipe a bit. I don't care for raw onions in something this mild, so I swapped it out for some greek olives which added a comparable level of flavor punch. I also used lemon instead of lime as I realized I didn't have lime in the house. Very tasty!
