Crab lovers will get a kick out of this salad that's as eye-appealing as it is appetizing. " I like to add a little crumbled feta cheese, and sometimes I substitute chicken or turkey for the crab," writes Sally Sibthorpe from Shelby Township, Michigan.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more seasoning. The citrus vinaigrette was good, though.

This salad was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less crab and more chickpeas. The citrus vinaigrette was good, though.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover crab, and the citrus vinaigrette is so flavorful. I like to add a little bit of chopped red onion for extra crunch.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed this salad. The chickpeas and citrus vinaigrette were a great way to balance out the fishy flavor of the crab. I also liked the addition of the avocado, which added a creamy texture.
