Corn, Crab, & Roasted Red Pepper Salad With Lemon Basil Dressing
This salad is a mishmash of 3 different recipes: I started with Crab, Corn, and Tomato Salad with Lemon Basil Dressing, took away some tomato (which I’m not that fond of – don’t ask me why I picked a recipe with “Tomato” in the title), added grilled red pepper (which I LOVE), and replaced the dressing with a cross between Ellen’s Lemon Basil Dressing and this Lemon-Basil Dressing (because I don’t like mustard, and I was unwilling to pick between honey and garlic).
And after all that, it still turned out okay 
.
And (can I start another paragraph with “and”?) – AND this is salad number SEVEN of twelve for my Summer Salad Challenge. Over half-way! Woot! I’m already trying to figure out what I’m going to do for the fall… soups? Hmmm….

Looks tasty! I do like mustard so might have to try the original dressing recipe…but I’m with you on the roasted red peppers…waaay more tasty than tomatoes.
If you do, let me know how ‘mustardy’ it is
. I should probably try it too – mustard powder does have a tang that adds something. And as for roasted red peppers, I could eat them all day! Hooray for BBQ season!
Ohhhh… What a perfect summer salad!
Oh I love crab meat and love using it in a salad!The dressing sounds delish with the honey in there
YUMM…
