Crab Cake Salad with Creamy Remoulade Dressing

Meals out can be part of a healthy diet, but intention is important… In other words, are you ordering out for convenience or because it’s really worth it? Many tend to order out on the nights where they run out of time or energy to cook.

If this is you, simply keeping some easy proteins in your freezer can make all the difference! For example, this Crab Cake Salad with Creamy Remoulade Dressing took less than 20 minutes to make using the best frozen crab cakes as an easy protein. Just pull them out of the freezer and pop them in the oven while you chop up the veggies and make the dressing!
