We made this in cooking class and this unexpectedly delishioso! We tripled the recipe. I remember slicing 9 green onions. We had the imitation crab salad without the salad greens. And didn't used the lemon wedges. We simply added broke the crabmeat into pieces and mixed everything together.

1 (8 ounce) package imitation crabmeat
2 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup celery, diced small.
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon horseradish, prepared
2 -3 cups salad greens (optional)
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)

Cut crab into bite-sized pieces. Combine the crab with the onions, celery, lemon juice, mayonnaise, dill weed and horseradish; mix well. Place the salad greens on 2 plates for large portions and 3 plates for small portions. Divide crab mixture among the plates; sprinkle with the parsley. Place lemon wedges on plate.

I learned this trick at the kitchen. It's much faster than dicing the hard boiled eggs. Also using a knife the yolk would suction onto it so that was inconvenient  If you have a cooling rack with squares or anything similar you can...

Quinoa Salad Recipe

I made this in Agrace kitchen. Never had red quinoa before. Has a unique texture. I didn't really like the taste because I don't like basil very much so I think it tasted weird. I'm not sure if herb dressing was a vinaigrette because I couldn't taste the sourness. So I think it was just plain oil blend with herbs. Don't know, got to test it out. Well if it were me I would add olive oil.

Need:
drained, cooked red quinoa
chopped fresh cilantro - want the stem to be chopped smaller than the leaves part
chopped fresh basil leaves
Fresh Herb Vinaigrette - makes the quinoa moist and not dry
salt - add to your taste

mix together.

Simple Chicken Salad

Hospice chef also had me made chicken salad. I don't eat those kind of diet, so it was my first time making it and it was easy and simple. You can adjust the amount of mayonnaise, salt, pepper to your liking because I'm not sure if I remember the salt and pepper measure amount right.
