LOSING WEIGHT NEVER TASTED SO GREAT

Another wonderful reason this Deli Crab Salad is perfect for your New Years plate? The taste of course!

Tossed with just the right amount of creamy light mayo and sour cream, your taste buds will relish how well the crab meat combines with the pasta noodles and chopped green onions.

Not an onion fan? Just substitute chives for a more mellow flavor.

But we're not done yet. Next you'll be adding up to a teaspoon of mustard; a dash of onion powder (especially great if you've used chives); and salt and pepper to taste.

Combined, I prefer to leave this pasta salad overnight in the refrigerator so the flavors can blend. It's also wonderful to add celery if I'm craving a bit more crunch.

And plated over lettuce leaves, this looks so fancy you'll never realize you're even [easyazon_link identifier="B019G5VKH6" locale="US" nw="y" nf="y" tag="allshecooksblog-20"]counting points[/easyazon_link]!
