Crab Salad (Kristi H)

1 package imitation crab -- flaked
1 tomato -- chopped
1 green onion -- chopped
1/2 cucumber -- chopped
1 teaspoon (or to taste) ranch-style dressing mix -- the dry mix
1/4 cup mayonnaise -- (or less)

Mix everything and chill.

I love this salad. The seafood salad you buy at the deli or at Costco always has too much mayo for my taste. This just tastes nice and fresh.

This is also good on crackers.

Chicken Tuna Salad (Kristi H)

6 ounces tuna -- canned, drained
12 ounces chicken -- canned, drained
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
1 apple -- chopped fine
3 ribs celery -- chopped fine

Mix everything together and chill.

This is great on crackers or used as sandwich filling. I like to add grapes (halved) if I have them. The fine chopped apple is key.

This is kind of like the chicken salad you find on expensive chicken salad sandwiches... add grapes and pecans to this and put it on your favorite bread - it's even better than the sandwiches you get at hip little sandwich shops.
