Spicy Crab Salad

I love this salad!

I make a lot of it and eat it several days for lunch during the week.

Ingredients:

Salad
2 (3 oz) cans of crab meat
1 can black beans
1 can corn
corn chips
spinach

Dressing
3 T olive oil
juice of one lime
1/4 t. chili powder
1/4 t. cumin
garlic salt to taste

Directions:
Toss crab meat, corn, and beans together (I keep this mixture in a container in the fridge for later days).
Crunch corn chips in bottom of plate, then add spinach, and top with crab mixture. Drizzle with dressing.

Strawberry Spinach Salad

Ingredients

         2 heaping handfuls of Fresh Spinach

         1 handful of Strawberries (sliced)

         4 oz of raw meat (chicken, lean beef or shrimp)

         2 tbsp of celery seed vinegar- couldn’t find.

                  *added celery and purple onin

                  * used lemon juice and rice vinegar as dressing

Directions

chop spinach into bite sized pieces, slice strawberries

Cook 4 oz of meat however you see fit - grilled seems to taste best. cut into bite sized pieces and place in bowl with spinach and strawberries top with 2 tbsp of celery seed vinegar garnish with seseme seeds. Letting the mixture wilt a little really gives it a good taste.

Number of Servings: 1
