Yield 2 Servings: Can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup regular or low-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
6 ounces crabmeat, picked over
2 large seeded sandwich rolls (such as kaiser), split horizontally
1 cup thinly sliced romaine lettuce

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.
