Crabmeat Salad
|
2 lbs | cooked lump crabmeat, chilled. Imitation crabmeat works great. |
3 | large tomatoes |
3/4 c | freshly squeezed lime juice |
2 | garlic cloves, minced |
1 c | Spanish-style green olives |
1/2 c | thinly sliced green onions |
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste | |
6 | large iceberg or butter lettuce leaves |
6 | lime halves |
1 | yellow bell pepper, cleaned, seeded and sliced |
Break crabmeat into large attractive chunks. Remove any shell or cartilage. Core and dice tomatoes (large to medium chunks), then combine them in a large bowl with lime juice, garlic, olives, green onions and crabmeat. Gently mix all ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, place on a bed of lettuce leaves and garnish with lime halves and yellow bell pepper slices. |
