How does this sound for a great salad?

Lump crab, artichoke and hearts of palm tossed in lemon basil oil.

1/2 lb. of lump or jumbo crab
12 large artichoke hearts (canned) and quartered
12 large hearts of palm (canned)rinsed and cut into 1/2 inch lengths
1 small head of red cabbage (cored and cut chiffonade)
1 each red and yellow bell pepper, seeded and julienne

Toss all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

(for those like me who have no clue in the kitchen, "chiffonade" is defined in the Food Lover's Companion as, "...a French phrase that means 'made of rags'. Culinarily, it refers to thin strips or shreds of vegetables..."

and Julienne "n. Foods that have been cut into thin, matchstick strips...about 1/8 of an inch") Learn something new everyday!

Bon Appetit
