Summer Crab Salad
I got a chance to visit the West Allis farmers market this week. It was
started in 1919 making it one of the oldest in Wisconsin .
I like going to the farmer’s market and buying the freshest and best
looking produce, then figure out what to make from my finds. I found these really wonderful round squash.
I used them for today’s salad and am going to use them for a Thai Curry next week. They are really tender and are wonderful in this salad. I have good memories of the farmers market. My mom loved the farmers market. Because she didn't drive I would pick her up on Saturdays and we would go to the market together. My mom used to make the salad often in the summer for family gatherings. I think of her whenever I go to the farmers market or make a recipe she used to make.
