Zesty crab salad is definitely a great go-to for a party. It's fairly simple to make and can be served as a main dish or as an appetizer. To make the salad, you'll need: - 2 cups cooked crabmeat - 1 cucumber, diced- 1/4 cup diced red onion- 2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley- 2 tablespoons olive oil- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder- Salt and pepper, to taste Instructions:1. In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper, and parsley.2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper.3. Pour the dressing over the salad and lightly toss to combine.4. Serve chilled or at room temperature.Hope that helps!

I haven't tried the zesty crab salad, but it sounds delicious! I love anything with crab in it. As for suggestions, you could also make a simple shrimp cocktail or a caprese salad with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Both are easy to make and always a hit at parties. Good luck with your Bunko night!
