Creamy Lemon-Lime Crab Salad
    A quickie all-in-one lunch, sweet crab meat is delectable with Creamy Lemon-Lime Yogurt Dressing ( page 192 ). Please note that for those following the Fat Flushing Food Combination rules for phase 3, I consider yogurt (if it is made from whole milk and not nonfat) a dairy fat similar to butter, cream, and sour cream, and so yogurt combines with other protein foods.
    1 pound crab, cooked and flaked
    3 tablespoons lime juice
    Â½ cup celery, chopped
    1¼ cups Creamy Lemon-Lime Yogurt Dressing
    4 cups mixed salad greens, shredded
    2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
    Combine all ingredients, except the scallions, in a salad bowl. Mix well and serve. Garnish with scallions.

    1 garlic clove, minced
    2 scallions, sliced
    Â¼ cup 1-2-3 Vegetable Broth ( page 221 )

    2 tablespoons water
    1 3½-ounce can artichoke hearts, rinsed and sliced
    6 black olives, pitted and minced
    2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    In a medium, nonstick skillet, sauté leeks, garlic, scallions, and broth until leeks are soft. Spread evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Mix dill and water with eggs and pour into the skillet. Arrange the artichoke slices and olives on top of the egg mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro and cook over low heat until egg mixture is set, about 8 minutes, shaking skillet occasionally. Cover the skillet handle and place under broiler until lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and drizzle with lemon juice.
