Nice salad, but we found it to be very bland. Another time I would add more seasoning may be some dill and a little dash of seafood sauce to liven it up. Perhaps it would be better if I had used fresh crab, I used canned crab left from the holidays. Thanks for posting I will try it again cus it is low fat and low sugar/carb. -
This was perfect for a hot day like today! Thanks Paula! -
Paula this salad is wonderful, I doubled the complete recipe and used Greek yogurt added in just a teaspoon of sugar, a few hours minumum chilling time only improves the flavor, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:) -
This was very quick to make with things I had on hand. To be honest I did find it to be quite bland as written but that was quickly remedied with a light shake of 1/2 salt and a couple of dashes of hot sauce. I chose to use the yogurt but I believe that it and the sour cream would be equally acceptable in this. I forgot to put the tomato in for it's portrait, shame on me! Thank you Paula for a very nice meal with no guilt at all. -
This was sooooo good! I made it last night for a light, lo-carb dinner for me while dh was out of town. I stuffed celery with it. I wish I had tomatoes in the house (thought I did) because they would've gone great with it too! (also would make the picture prettier lol). Thanks for a great salad!

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
