CRABACADO SALAD

Crabacado Salad image

This is a lovely salad that is excellent as a luncheon dish, or for a light summertime dinner. Don' let the long ingredient list scare you....this is easy to put together. This is my version of the crabacado salad recipe I found in the 'Benson & Hedges 100's 100 Recipes from 100 of the Greatest Restaurants' and it's originally from Houlihan's Old Place in Atlanta, Georgia. Cook time is for hard boiling the eggs.
