I love seafood salad but in winter (Note: its winter in Australia right now) it usually isn't available so inspired by  lunarwolf I ventured out of my winter hide-hole and went ingredients hunting.

Ingredients

1 cup of Celery - finely sliced
1/2 cup Parsley - roughly chopped
1/2 cup Spring onion - finely sliced
1-2 cups of Mixed lettuce and baby spinach - roughly chopped
200g Can Water Chestnuts in spring water - drained and sliced
170g Can Crab Meat in brine or available alternative - drained
500g Seafood Extender - defrosted and ready to eat, you may need to cut larger pieces into bite size (I couldn't get very much Marina Mix or small prawns/shrimp so had to use this)
250g Marina Mix (blend of Squid rings, White fish chunks, Pink fish chunks and Prawns) - pre cook this with some salt and pepper then set aside to let cool
200g Ham - dice finely
425g Jar Whole Egg Mayonnaise
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce
100g Danish Feta Cheese - roughly broken up
1/4 cup Cashew Nuts - roasted and roughly cut
Pepper and salt to taste

Preferred addition: 1 cup prepped, shelled, tails off and cooked small prawns/shrimp

Method

Cook any seafood that requires it and set aside in the fridge to let it cool
prep and cut all other items
combine all the veg in a large bowl
Add in all the fish, canned items, ham and danish feta
Combine the mayo, garlic powder and chili sauce then gently combine this with salad
Check the flavours and add pepper or salt (I added pepper but not much salt)
The nuts can be added last or sprinkled on individual serves

Optional: some may like to add well drained and squeezed pineapple pieces
or flaked Parmesan cheese

Serve
with crusty bread, an optional squeeze of lemon and a little lemon zest
or parsley if desired

Enjoy, I know I did...thanks  lunarwolf for the inspiration
