Annie's Seafood Salad


Description:
Cold Seafood Salad- With just enough crunch in it to please everyone.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups, Wild Caught American Shrimp (I buy them frozen, cleaned and pre~cooked).
  • 2 Cups Icicle Brand (USA) cut up Crab Meat
  • 5 Boiled Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Celery Sliced very thin, then halved
  • 1 Small Onion, yellow or red, salad size pieces
  • 1 Small cucumber, fresh, thin slices, then halved
  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas
  • 3 Cups (before cooking) cooked pasta, your choice of shells or swirls, (elbow macaroni can also be used)
  • 1/3 Cup Plain Yogurt
  • 1/3 Cup Real Mayonnaise
  • 1/4 Cup Buttermilk Ranch Salad Dressing
  • Dash of ReaLemon Juice
  • Lemon Pepper Fish Seasoning to taste
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar

    • Add dill weed, fresh chives, (whatever pleases your palate).




 

Directions:
  • Boil eggs.
  • Boil pasta, al dente. 
    • Chill these in ice water if you need the salad right away.
Cut peeled eggs into quarters.

Lightly stir all ingredients together.
If mixture seems dry, add more dressing or yogurt.
* Adding more mayo will bring out overpowering mayo flavor.

Chill for about half an hour.
Stir again, toss into serving dish.
Sprinkle with paprika.
Add a touch of parmesan, romano, or asiago cheese.

Individual servings get sprinkled with homemade garlic croutons.

Mmmmmmmm  
Enjoy!



Mmmmmm! Thank You Polly!


So how does that look?  Pretty darn good!

Good Afternoon;
I have to share my scrumptious treat!

Miss Polly is my friend from Wyoming, and has made and sent some Chokecherry Jelly!
Mom would make that too, and I haven't had it in many many years.
The taste is exquisite!
Polly and Rich (her hubby) lived next door to us right after we bought our home on Jaworski Rd. I miss her. She has been by my side throughout forever, and always with a godsent friendship shoulder. She has listened to me not only cry about my girls, but to laugh with them too- Not to mention everything inbetween.
The world needs more "Polly"s...

Thank you Polly!
(I shall share with Casey- if I have to)! 
hehehe

Love you always.

XOXO
Me

PS
Yes, I rushed my bread (you would have too), and it didn't rise right.
But hey, a bit of unleavened bread is good for the soul!
