Delicious Crab Salad

Recipe from Isaac Benchimol, Retail Promotion Manager, Wal-Mart Team, Pfizer, Inc.

This is a delicious and healthy salad that we like to eat wrapped in lettuce. Lettuce wraps are a healthy new trend. You can use lettuce to wrap any salad or rice dish or, for a “light” change, substitute lettuce for bread and wrap your favorite sandwich.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces of crabmeat (real or imitation)
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/2 yellow or orange bell pepper
• 6 scallions, white and green parts
• 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
• 1 small carrot
• 5-6 leaves Romaine lettuce
• 3 leaves radicchio
• 4 large leaves, Bibb lettuce
