Tarragon Lemon Salad with Fresh Crab and Avocado

crab salad

I’m on a Saucy Mama roll!! Yesterday I posted a recipe for Smoky Garlic Mustard & Roasted Veggie Mini Pizzas using the Smoky Garlic Mustard; today I’m using the Tarragon Lemon Mustard for this quick and easy salad. Each salad is only about 300 calories and so good. I love the sweet mustard in this healthy dressing.

For some instructions and helpful hints on how to stack a salad as I did in the picture, head over to this post on a stacked Cobb Salad. It’s quite easy to do!

This looks delicious! What could you substitute if you don't have Saucy Mama?

I would try using your favorite flavored mustard instead. Try not to use anything too strong or it will overpower the crab, otherwise most anything should work just fine.
