Sugar snap peas, strips of chicken and greens with pasta and dressed with a garlicky Caesar salad dressing.

Imitation crab salad just like the deli case: flaked surimi tossed with celery, a light mayo and sour cream dressing, Old Bay, and celery seed. A cool, creamy seafood salad for sandwiches, crackers, or a bed of greens.
