This salad is balanced with a great variety of flavors. The creamy dressing is delicious, with a small hint of garlic and lemon. Feel free to substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
You can prepare this salad ahead of time, by dicing up broccoli and cauliflower. Crab can be diced also, but keep it in a separate dish, until you are ready to serve the salad.

Yes it is an interesting combination but very good;). I use the canned kidney beans.

I used organic mayo form Trader Joes. Best Foods mayo is very delicious too!
We make another salad with cauliflower. We add radishes, tomatoes, onions and mix with mayo, sour cream and ranch.
