Citrus Splash Crab Salad

This is perfect for a light spring supper. I love fresh salads that burst with flavor and this does just that. I created it on a whim and it was definitely blog worthy.

The crab has a a juicy sweetness that compliments the citrus very well. Next time I might add some marinated artichoke hearts! Serve it with a warm loaf of sour dough cheese bread.
