Krab Salad - An Oldie, But A Goodie

Here is a recipe I used to make quite a bit back in the late 80s.  It is easy, tasty and fairly thrifty too.  Looks nice too.  I remember thinking, at the time, it was rather fancy so I would make it for company when they came for lunch.

Krab Salad

1 pkg. coleslaw mix

3 green onions, sliced

3 - 5 radishes, halved & thinly sliced

2 stalks celery, thinly sliced

1 pkg. Krab-flaked imitation crab meat

1/2 cup Ranch dressing

1/4 cup mayonnaise

In a large mixing bowl combine coleslaw mix, onions, radishes, celery and crab.  In a small bowl whisk together dressing and mayonnaise.  Pour over salad and toss well to coat.  Chill one hour.  Serves 8.

I like to add a healthy dose of cracked black pepper to mine.  It makes a lot of salad and would be a great option to bring on a picnic, camping or to a summer barbecue.  You could use real crab to, of course.

If I remember correctly, I think the recipe was on the back of the package of "crab".  Do you any of you remember this salad?
