crab salad anyone ?



Recommended Posts

I had some crab salad the other day at Western Sizzlin and it was so good. Does anyone have a good recipe for a simple crab meat salad? Would love to have it if you do.

Thanks, :lol:

Why not try mixing the crab with some chopped celery, maybe some onion if you like it, or chopped pickles, whatever you like and then a little bit of Fat Free Miracle Whip and a little Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip. There are several different types of Tostitos Dip that are only like 35 calories for 2 Tbsp... experiment mixing them with different things... tuna, canned chicken, etc. Albertson's has them all on sale this week... Creamy Salsa, Creamy Spinach, Queso, etc.

The buffets that have crab salad (Golden Corral, Ryan's, etc.) use this recipe.. I found it on a copycat recipe website, tried it one day and it was just like they make it.. I give it 3 thumbs up, and I'm extremely picky with seafood!!

1 Package of Imitation Crab meat

1/2c Hidden Valley Ranch

1/2c Mayonaisse (not Miracle Whip)

1/2c Chopped Celery

1/4c Chopped Green Pepper

1/4c Chopped Green Onion

----

Break up the crab (by hand), mix in the mayo & dressing, then add the chopped veggies. Mix really well, and let it refrigerate overnight (this is important!!).

Nom nom nom!!

Try making a spinach dip using knorr spinach dip packet but instead of using mayo or sourcream - use 1/2 nonfat plain greek yogurt and 1/2 lowfat cottage cheese (or all yogurt) - blended in the blender till smooth. To boost flavor I add the following: 1/2 tsp salt (or to your liking), 1-2 packets splenda, 1/2 tsp of both dill and garlic powder.

(This is great with veggies or chicken - and you made it so you know most of the ingredients and it has no oil or mayo)

Once you've made the dip - toss it with chopped crab (I prefer fresh or canned instead of imitation - but do what you like), halved grape tomatoes, sliced black olives, chopped avocado, diced red bell pepper and either diced sweet onion or chopped green onions. One last ingredient I think compliments the sweetness of crab that would be great to toss in is sweet corn (either cooked and cut off the cob at this time of year, or sweet corn from the can, drained)

Although making the dip is a little bit more work (not really but not as easy or quick as opening a jar) - I think the flavor and health aspects outweigh the ease of a jar. To counteract that - get the other ingredients you toss in (except for avocado) from the supermarket salad bar

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
