A Delightful Salad with NO Dressing

Nothing was more exciting when I decided to top my summer salads with the crabmeat, seafood salad that can be purchased ready made at the grocery store, and made using your own healthy ingredients.

Today's lunchtime salad starts with the basics of all my salads:
Spinach and Iceburg Lettuce
I fill the bowl with 1/2 spinach the other with lettuce. When I have romaine, I use that, as I like to always mix things up a bit in order to have a little variation.




1/2 bowl of spinach
1/2 bowl of iceburg lettuce (or romaine, or mix all three or any of your favorite salad greens)
1 small cucumber with ends cut off, but sliced with green left on for texture & color
1 stalk celery sliced thin
1/2 c red grapes (for color - use green if that is your favorite flavor)
1/2 - 1c seafood salad
1/4 c of sliced almonds

The ingredients above are from today's salad.  I like to mix things up, and will sometimes add large chunks of apples, or strawberries as they are my favorite in this salad combined with the seafood mix.

What I enjoy about my salads is that they have eye appeal, color, texture, and flavor.  The seafood salad adds enough flavor that I do not use a salad dressing.  But, who needs salad dressing when the crabmeat combined with olive oil mayo provides sufficient added flavoring?

Enjoy!!
