Crawfish Confetti Salad
I’m so excited to introduce y’all to a super colorful, fun, and delicious salad that can be served several different ways -- Crawfish Confetti Salad! It’s beyond perfect for summer and can be served by itself, as a garnish on top of baked fish, or as a salsa dip with tortilla chips.
How fun are all of the bright colors in this salad?! I love that this dish can be dressed up or down. It would be a perfect side at a summer BBQ or beautiful served on top of a filet of fish topped with a butter sauce.
The flavors in this confetti salad literally POP in your mouth. I love how fresh it is, especially when it’s super hot outside!
One of the keys to the amazing flavor in this salad is the Creole Seasoning. If you can’t find it in your local grocery store then I would highly recommend ordering it on Amazon. Enjoy y'all!
