Crab Cobb Salad

Crab Cobb Salad

A fresh take on a classic diner favorite swaps heavy ingredients for sweet lump crabmeat. A tangy dressing made from Greek yogurt, fresh chives, and Dijon mustard coats crisp romaine lettuce. Chopped tomatoes and creamy avocado add bright color and rich texture to the plate. It makes a great light lunch or a quick weeknight dinner when you want something satisfying but not overly heavy. The combination of chilled seafood and crisp vegetables delivers a clean, bright flavor.
