Our National Parks have been preserving our country’s most unique and special places for 100 years now. I just returned from a trip to the Grand Canyon, one of the most remarkable landforms on earth. Besides being part a phenomenal landscape there, we were treated daily to delicious food at the lodge. One of my favorites was a crab dish. I could hardly wait to get home and into the kitchen to make my own variation inspired by my dinner in the Canyon. Zak prep bowls work perfectly to mold this tasty and soothing summer salad. Fresh herbs are the key to crisp, clean flavor. Citrusy goodness permeates the crab with a squeeze of lime juice over all.
