Caribbean Crabmeat Pasta Salad

Mangolicious

Mangos provide vitamin C along with great taste. Choosing the fruit over the juice gives a fiber boost too.

Ingredient Info

Surimi is mild-flavored white fish, such as Alaskan pollock, that has been shaped and colored to resemble shellfish. The most common surimi is imitation crabmeat, available in sticks, chunks and flakes. Look for refrigerated or frozen surimi in the fish department of the grocery store.

Kitchen Tips

Pre-sliced mango, in jars in the produce department, is a time-saver as well as a guarantee of ripe fruit for this salad.

Serving Suggestion

To continue the Caribbean theme, serve this salad with tropical-style nut bread. Start with Pillsbury® Banana Bread Mix. Add chopped dried papaya, toasted macadamia nuts and coconut flakes to the batter, along with a tablespoon of rum.

I agree. My husband and I both really liked this salad and used it as a main dish. We're looking forward to having it again this summer.
