Seafood lovers will enjoy this fresh and creamy salad featuring crawfish. Also known as crayfish or crawdads, these small crustaceans are eaten all over the world. In America they are popular in the South, as Louisiana supplies almost all the crawfish harvested in the States.
Meat salads have origins in Europe, and as with other early American recipes, were influenced by the immigrants’ country of origin. Lobster salad was popular in the mid to late 1800s, and tuna salad has long been an American classic. With the addition of hearty avocado, this salad can make a light and refreshing meal.
