Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound of crab meat or small salad shrimp, cooked
about 8 cups of torn salad greens
2 -3 tomatoes, cut in wedges
2 -3 hard cooked eggs, cut in wedges
black olives, if desired
1 lemon
DRESSING
3/4 cup chili sauce (i like grandma's brand)
1/3 cup mayonaise
1/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
1 tablespoons finely grated onion
1/2 teaspoon sugar
fresh squeezed juice of 1/2 lemon (cut other 1/2 in wedges to serve with salad)
1/2 teaspoon worchestershire sauce
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Hard cook eggs and chill. Make dressing by mixing all ingredients together and chilling in the fridge so flavors can marry. Prepare salad greens and chill until crisp. I use 1/2 romaine and 1/2 spring mix or spinach. Cut tomatoes in wedges.
  • 2. When all salad ingredients are well chilled, assemble salads in 4 shallow bowls or plates. Lettuce, shrimp or crab on top and tomato and egg wedges around sides. Top with dressing and add additional fresh squeezed lemon if desired. Enjoy! This salad serves 4 for a main entree or 8 as side salads.
