Crab (or Lobster) Salad

This is South Beach friendly, and the recipe comes from The South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook but I've modified it a bit.

*If in Phase 1, do not use the roll. Phase 2 you can add the roll if desired.

2 8 ounce packages of imitation crab (or, if you are wealthier, 4 lobster tails cooked & removed from shells, chopped)
1 celery stalk, diced
1 tbs (more or less) of diced red or white onion
1 tbs mayo
1 tbs basil
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper
red pepper flakes (optional)
I also add red or green diced peppers, cucumbers and whatever else I have to make it more 'bulky'

Mix all together. You may need to add more mayo to hold together, but remember, the SB Diet allows a minimal amount of fats.

Phase 1 - serve on a bed of salad greens.
Phase 2 - serve on a whole wheat hot dog roll, lightly toasted (if desired).

This will make 4 servings.
