Crabamole Salad

Feel free to substitute the seafood of your choice for the crab - flaked, cooked lobster or small salad shrimp would work well. Just do not use fake seafood, such as "Delicaseas" - the stuff has a whole pile of added carbs.

Ingredients:
24 ounces bagged mixed greens
1 pound cooked lump crabmeat
1 batch Guacamole Dressing (see below)
16 cherry tomatoes

Directions:
Arrange the mixed greens on four serving plates. Top each with crabmeat, then top that with the Guacamole Dressing, letting it run artictically down onto the greens. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them around each portion. Serve.

Yield: 4 servings, each with 17 grams of carbohydrates and 8 grams of fiber, for a total of 9 grams of usable carbs and 28 grams of protein. There is also 1479 milligrams of potassium and 344 milligrams of calcium in each serving of this salad!

Guacamole Dressing

Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor. Add the yogurt, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, hot sauce and salt and blend until smooth.

Note: A serving of this packs more potassium than a banana!

Yield: 4 servings, each with 6 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber, for a total of 4 grams of usable carbs
