🥗 The “2-Point” Seafood Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
-
Protein: 1 lb Imitation crab (chunked or shredded)
-
Crunch: 2 large cucumbers (peeled and sliced)
-
The “Cream”: ½ cup non-fat Greek yogurt (this keeps the points low!) or light mayo.
-
Flavor Boosters: 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped), 1 tsp garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
-
Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of rice vinegar for tang.
👩🍳 Quick Instructions:
-
Prep: Slice your cucumbers and pat them dry with a paper towel (this prevents the salad from getting watery).
-
Mix: In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt/light mayo, dill, garlic powder, and lemon juice.
-
Toss: Fold in the crab and cucumbers until everything is evenly coated.
-
Chill: Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors meld together.
Why it works for beginners:
-
No Cooking: Perfect for when you don’t want to turn on the stove.
-
Customizable: You can add diced celery for extra crunch or a dash of Old Bay seasoning for a “seafood boil” vibe.
-
Meal Prep Friendly: It stays fresh in the fridge for 2–3 days.
