WATERMELON AND CRAB NAPOLEONS
Napoleons don't have to come from the bakery! These unique summery entrées or sides consist of layers of creamy homemade dill crab salad and refreshing watermelon rounds. *To prepare watermelon rounds, slice watermelon into ½-inch-thick circles. Use a 3- or 4-inch cookie cutter to make watermelon rounds that are ½ inch thick and 3 to 4 inches in diameter.

CRAB SALAD NAPOLEONS WITH FRESH PASTA
This is one of the prettiest dishes I have ever made. It's perfect for a ladies' lunch, as it's not too heavy and is extremely elegant looking. Make it ahead of time and serve slightly chilled. You could also substitute chopped cooked shrimp for the crab if you prefer.
