Caryn's 'crab' salad is good potluck option

Caryn and I had two church potlucks on the schedule this weekend, so she volunteered yesterday to make a double batch of this super-easy salad to take to both events. It is SO nice having this girl around. I'm a fan of imitation crab meat-- it's non-fat and not high in calories. There's no mayo in this either, so in spite of the yummy cheddar cheese, this dish is relatively healthy.

Easy 'crab' salad with green peas

4 8-ounce packages imitation crab meat
2 cups frozen peas
4 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 6-ounce cans black olives
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Break crab meat into bite-size chunks. Let peas soak in cold water until thawed, about 10 minutes. Slice olives. Combine all ingredients. Chill 'til ready to serve.
