“Down Here All The Fish Is Happy As Off Through The Waves, They Roll The Fish On The Land Ain't Happy, They Sad 'Cause They In Their Bowl But Fish In The Bowl Is Lucky – Little Mermaid”

I know we are heading into “Fall” hear in Texas, but I believe here in Texas (Houston) Summer Salads are in style all year round! I was given this recipe a while ago from a friend who snagged it from Betty Crocker website and I fell in love!!

It incorporates the ultimate American Classic BLT, with a seafood splash – very easy and great for dinner or a get together!

Seafood BLT Salad:

1 box Betty Crocker® Suddenly Salad® ranch & bacon pasta salad mix
¾ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 cans (6 oz each) lump crab meat, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
4 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled (1/4 cup)
2 cups thinly sliced iceberg lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, chopped and drained

Directions:

1) Empty Pasta mix into 3-quart saucepan 2/3 full of boiling water. Gently boil uncovered 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2) Meanwhile, in large bowl, stir together Seasoning mix, mayonnaise, milk and lemon juice. Stir crab meat, green onions and bacon.
3) Drain pasta; rinse with cold water. Shake to drain well. Stir pasta into salad mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to chill. Just before serving, gently toss with lettuce and tomatoes to coat.

This is a delicious take on the original BLT (because other than my instant mash potatos – I LOVE me some bacon!)

Enjoy! And always, LORD Thank you for my continued energy to do this ALL!
