COLORFUL BLACK BEAN AND CRAB SALAD



Colorful Black Bean and Crab Salad image

This is a very colourful side dish that I serve with jerk chicken or barbecued steaks. I quite often will take this to a pot luck along with several copies of the recipe, as it is always requested. For more of a bite, add a finely chopped jalapeno directly to the salad in addition to the sliced jalapenos on top.

  • You can add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped celery, red onion, or avocado.
  • If you are serving the salad as a main course, you can add a side of rice or quinoa.
