Crab Salad

Now that summer is here I like to have some quick, no cook ideas for lunch or dinner and crab salad served over salad greens or stuffed into a fresh, ripe tomato is one of my favorites.  Prep time is no more than 10 minutes, low in calories, high in protein and a crowd pleaser.

Ingredients:

• 10 ½ ounces lump crab meat
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro
• ¼ cup scallion greens
• 1 ½ Tablespoons light mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel (zest)
• ¾ teaspoon lemon juice
• Sea salt
• Pepper

Directions: 

1. Finely chop the fresh cilantro
2. Slice the scallion greens extra thin
3. Combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, mixing thoroughly. 
4. Add salt and pepper to taste
5. Cover and chill for at least ½ hour
6. Serve over salad greens, or stuff in a tomato and enjoy!
