Crab Cakes with Mixed Green Salad

This is another easy dinner or lunch. Just like the salmon cake salad that I featured a while ago. Super easy and was excellent.

crab cakes (store bought or you can make your own - I used the ones from Trader Joes)
mixed greens
carrots, chopped
tomatoes, diced
green onion, diced
red onions, thinly sliced
avocado, diced
balsamic dressing
olive oil

In a large non-stick sauté pan heat over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Brown both sides of the crab cakes until you have a brown crust on both sides.

While crab cakes are cooking, mix carrots, tomatoes, green onions, red onions and avocado. You are basically making a chunky salsa type mixture. Drizzle with dressing and mix thoroughly.

When crab cakes are done, lay on a paper towel to capture any loose oils.

Dress mixed greens with dressing.

On a plate, lay down mixed greens, top with crab cakes (I used two per dish) and then top with carrot mixture. Serve and ENJOY!!!!!

Wine pairing.......Chardonnay or Viognier.
