Our local grocery chain makes their own pico de gallo, but it needs a little help. A half jar of salsa and extra cilantro really improves on their base.  If you can find really great pico de gallo, then use it instead.  A little salsa might be still be a good choice.

My attempt to recreate the basic crab salad my grandmother used to make.  It will never be the same as it was back then when my grandfather would catch the crabs right off the back yard and steam them in the kitchen.  I miss those days and I miss my grandparents.

You can omit the bacon, or substitute sausage, leftover brats, etc. for it.

Also great for lasagna, stuffed shells, baked ziti, etc.

Also try variations of this with chicken from Bryan’s Chicken Tacos or Taco Beef.  The being a great alternative to ground beef, but it is slow cooked, so it takes time.

The molasses and apple juice glaze takes the last bit of bitterness away.  Even people that hate brussel sprouts will like them.
