CRAB WEDGE SALAD
What is a Wedge Salad?
It is quite literally what the name says! A wedged piece of Iceberg lettuce, the type of lettuce used to make a wedge salad, forms the base. It’s a great cold and refreshing salad! A traditional wedge salad usually has a heavy blue cheese dressing, and features bacon and tomatoes. I took a healthier spin and decided to use delicious fresh rock crab. A perfect protein to add cold on top this delicious dish! In this salad feel free to sub the crab for something else or leave it off entirely. Feel free to add bacon should you wish.
