It's perfect for a quick lunch or as a starter before a heavier meal.

It's a delicious and simple recipe that can be easily adapted to individual tastes or preferences.

Instructions

2.	Mix in the mayonnaise until well combined.
3.	Season with fresh cracked pepper and salt to taste.

PROS

This salad is easy to make and bursting with flavor.
The combination of sweet pineapple and savory crabmeat is a winning combination.

CONS

The use of imitation crab meat may not appeal to everyone, and some may find the mayonnaise-based dressing too heavy.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Crabmeat is low in fat and calories while being high in protein. Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C and manganese while also containing a digestive enzyme called bromelain.
