Seafood Salad With Shrimp and Crab
"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."

Nice light salad for topping crackers or using in wraps. Dump the Accent seasoning and substitute Old Bay or other seafood seasoning. -
Isn't mayo a whipped dressing?

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. -
YOU ALL SHOULD TRY ADDING DICED APPLES TO THE SEAFOOD SALAD! KILLER! -

Substituted Old Bay seasoning for the Accent and increased to 1/2 teaspoon. Nice flavor and the salad was a big hit at a party.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My SO and I live in a rural area in Virginia with one dog and 3 cats. SO has a greenhouse and grows a large garden so we always have tons of fresh veggies in the spring and summer. We can and freeze some but enjoy many of them fresh straight from the garden.There is nothing I like better than being in the kitchen with a new recipe to try. My goal is at least one new one every weekend. It's the perfect relaxation after a long week at work.
