Shrimp and Crab Seafood Salad

With summer coming up, it’s time to start working on lighter options. Seafood salad with crab and shrimp is an easy fix up that will feed you for a few days. I use canned crab meat and chilis because it’s faster an easier, but you can substitute out with fresh. With this, you can make some great cold sandwiches and lettuce wraps.

Cucumber Dill Dip

Since the store had a “2 for a buck” special on cucumbers, I bought a few bucks worth and made up this dip. This goes great with sliced cucumbers, carrots and Rosemary Triscuts. It’s Depending on how you like it, you can just finely dice the cucumbers for a thicker dip or, I used a food processor and added the cucumber and ranch and it made it more consistent in texture. It will stay good for about 3 days in the fridge.
