CRAB OR CHICKEN SALAD COLESLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine coleslaw, lettuce, onion and crab.
• Mix dressing ingredients and the seasoning packet in a pint jar or other container with a lid; stir or shake until sugar is mostly dissolved.
• AT SERVING TIME: add nuts and noodles to the salad; toss well. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
• LEFTOVERS: This salad is really good the next day too, but the ramen will have lost its crunchiness -- so ADD another packet of broken ramen noodles.
• LARGE FAMILY/POTLUCK OPTION: Add two packets of ramen noodles to stretch it a bit further.
• SUBSTITUTIONS: Switch out the crab for some cooked chicken breast chunks or even shrimp! Add a few tablespoons of finely minced green Bell peppers (orange, red, yellow, too). Use scallions instead of a large onion.

CRAB COLE SLAW

Steps:

• 1. Thinly slice entire head of cabbage and place in a large mixing bowl. I usually omit the core and save it to use as filler for stews and soup.
• 2. Cut the green onions in the same manner and add them to the bowl. This may be omitted, I mainly use it for coloring.
• 3. Finely chop your onion and add to mixing bowl.
• 4. Open your packages of imitation crab meat and you may either chop or peel and add to mixing bowl. Either way works fine, it just depends on how you like to eat your crab whether in chunks or slivers. Add salt, pepper, mustard and vinegar then thoroughly mix all ingredients.
• 5. Add mayonnaise. Amount may be adjusted to your taste. This recipe is much better when prepared ahead of time so that all ingredients have time to marinate.
