I love getting some color into my salads. In this recipe it's by adding some pink grapefruit and radishes. Combining fresh flavors with a good source of protein scores this salad top marks for energy and vitality.

I used what I had on my refrigerator for this yummy salad and the addition of cauliflower was a wonderful addition. It gave a wonderful crunch to the salad, hence the name. This salad can be doubled or tripled easily for your needs. Goes great as a side to a burger or as a meal itself. We loved it! Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

8 oz imitation crab meat, chopped or fresh
1/2 c frozen sweet peas, thawed
1/2 c fresh cauliflower, chopped
1/4 medium red onion, minced
1/4 c celery, small chopped
1/4 - 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp old bay seasoning or to taste
1/2 c plus 2 tablespoons - real mayonnaise
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

1. In a medium bowl, add chopped crab, onion, celery, seasonings, peas, cauliflower and cheese. Toss together and fold in the mayonnaise. You may want more or less mayonnaise, up to you. My proportions were just right for our taste. Sprinkle the top with more bay seasoning and chill for at least an hour so the flavorings can permeate.
2. Sprinkle the top with more bay seasoning and chill for at least an hour so the flavorings can permeate. Enjoy as a side or as a meal. If needing a bigger recipe - just double or triple the ingredients. Pasta would be a great addition as well. Just mix in more seasonings and mayonnaise.
