P.s. for those who already own & love our cookbook, there’s a new add on cookbook coming soon! 

Okay! Onto this delicious Crab Salad that I want to share with you! IT’S SO EASY, YOU GUYS. It just takes 7 simple ingredients that I bet you already have many of in your kitchen. 

There are lots of tasty and easy summer salad toppings that you can throw on some spinach or kale, but this salad is definitely a little outside the box from your typical summer salad. I think it’s such a great go-to salad for your busy summer, because it’s SO quick and easy! When you’re heading to a grill-out after a long day of work or you’re driving to the beach with the kids and still need to get everyone ready, this salad will be the perfect option to whip up and bring along before you head out the door!
