Crab and Corn Salad

My new obsession!! I make enough to munch on the whole week through. It is so good, light, fresh and would be good to experiment with.
Recipe:
4 corn on the cobs
1 lg. red bell pepper (or 2 small), diced
3-4 sticks of celery, diced
1/2 bunch of cliantro, diced
2-3 limes (depending on how much lime juice you want)
2 tbsp. olive oil
2-3 tbsp. mayonaise
red pepper flakes to taste
12 ounces crab meat, cubed

Roast the corn in a pan with some olive oil. Flip periodically to get a slight charred look on each side. Chop up all veggies into a bowl. Break apart crab with your fingers. After the corn has cooled, cut it off the cob into the veggies. Add the rest and stir. It's ready to serve! Really good over lettuce as a salad. Also good with tortilla chips.

Variations: Add shrimp instead of crab. Add jalepeno, red onion, and/or avacodo. Enjoy!

  1. ooo - sounds really good! I am always intimidated by crab ... can't really get it fresh here. Do you use fresh or canned?
