Salad Day

Tonight i decided that i would try one of the salads from this fortnights menu. Its Chilli, Crab and Mango Salad which i got out of an old weight watchers recipe book. Its really nice but i think i will end up playing around with it as when i made it it was a bit wet.

Chilli, Crab and Mango Salad

Serves 4 ---------------- 4 1/2syns per serving

240g (8 1/2oz) fresh crab meat or 2 x 120g cans white crab meat, drained

1 medium cucumber

8 small pink radishes, halved and sliced thinly

2 medium ripe mangos or papayas, peeled and sliced

2 tsp sweetner

1 1/2tsp fish (nam pla) or soy sauce

1 tsp crushed dried chilli

juice of 2 limes

1 small red chilli, deseeded and chopped

50g (1 3/4oz) roasted peanuts, chopped

a small bunch of chives or coriander, chopped to garnish

salt

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and toss together gently. Pile onto serving plates and top with the chives and serve

This summer salad is well worth a try. I think that i will have some more and try it with some rocket.

Take care and happy slimming
