veggie crab salad
I was basically craving that broccoli salad you often see at get togethers...all I had was cauliflower at the time, so created my own version, then revised into this version the next time. So good with the crab in it, or some leftover cut up chicken. Makes for a meal that way. But very good alone too, as a side dish. In this photo, I had a nectrine added too.
