MINI CRAB CROISSANTS
Steps:
- Split the croissants open sandwich-style but not all the way, so they have a hinge at the back. Spoon in 1 tablespoon of seafood salad, then tuck 1 or 2 baby spinach leaves underneath. Insert 2 toothpicks into the top middle of each croissant and press a caper onto the point of each toothpick for crab eyes. To make crab claws, cut the grape tomatoes open from bottom end to stem end but not all the way, leaving them hinged. Stick a toothpick into each tomato at the stem end, then insert a toothpick with a tomato into the point of each end of each croissant. Arrange them on a serving plate.

Steps:
- Blend mayonnaise and seafood seasoning in medium bowl. Mix in celery and onion. Add crabmeat and stir gently to combine without breaking up crabmeat. Season to taste with pepper.
- Place bottoms of rolls on plates. Mound half of crab salad, then lettuce on each. Set tops of rolls over and press sandwiches slightly to compact.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. Fresh crab meat is typically sold in 1-pound containers.
- If you don't have fresh crab meat, you can use canned crab meat. Be sure to drain and flake the crab meat before using.
- Add a variety of vegetables to your crab salad for a more flavorful and nutritious dish. Some good options include celery, red onion, cucumber, and avocado.
- Use a light mayonnaise-based dressing for your crab salad. Avoid using heavy dressings, such as ranch dressing or thousand island dressing, as they will overpower the delicate flavor of the crab.
- Serve your crab salad on croissants, bread, or lettuce leaves. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
Crab salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many ways. Whether you're serving it as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, crab salad is sure to be a hit. With its light and refreshing flavor, crab salad is a great choice for any occasion.
