Try this delicious Seafood Salad for a light healthy lunch. Simple ingredients and so easy to make.
Every time I go to the local grocery store I can't help but hover over the deli counter staring at al the yummy salads that are on offer. So far my temptation hasn't got the better of me, mainly because I know just one serving of one of those salads is likely to put me well over my calories for the day, but it doesn't stop me from checking them all out every time I go in there.
Recently one that caught my eye was a seafood salad, made using crab sticks, so not really seafood at all, but it look delicious all the same. So I made a visual note in my head of what ingredients I could see in it, to come home and create a healthy version myself.
This seafood salad is yummy, I served it with a serving of crispy Ryvitas, which was a delicious combination, but it would be great with a jacket potato and salad, or mix in some cold pasta, for a great pasta salad, that would be great for picnic and lunches in the summer.
Okay I know it is only just February, but even in the cold I sometimes fancy a nice salad and this was one of those occasions as I think I had overdone it a bit on the soups.
This Seafood Salad recipe makes 2 decent servings, but you could also double it up to make more, it should keep for about 4 days in a tub in the fridge.

Hi Siobhan
I tried your version of the KFC recipe, and even though I did not put all the ingredients, it was delicious!
