Layered Crab Salad With Thousand Island Dressing

Submitted by LAURIE

"Impressive and super simple salad. Prep time includes chilling time. Ready Set Cook, could not be easier! Double the dressing if you like more on your salad, and if too thick use cream either 1/2 and 1/2 or whipping cream to thin the dressing."
