Reviews
I was surprised with this simple dish. The sauce gives the salad a great boost of flavor. I cut the rind off of the cantaloupe that we used. This made it much easier to slice and eat. I also recommend one can of crab per person in the recipe. Great recipe. I highly recommend it.
This recipe was so easy. It was packed with big flavors. My husband loved it. It is a very light meal, however. I will make it for lunch next time.
