This Hawaiian Crab Salad is something I make whenever I want to feel like I'm on vacation without leaving my kitchen. Fresh jumbo lump crab paired with sweet pineapple and crunchy macadamia nuts creates this amazing tropical vibe that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. The best part? You can have it ready in just thirty minutes total, making it perfect for when you want something impressive but don't have all day. Plus, the avocado oil dressing is loaded with heart healthy monounsaturated fats that make this as nutritious as it is delicious. It's bright, it's easy, and honestly, it never fails to impress.
