CRAB SALAD SANDWICH (BROWN BAG RECIPE)



Crab Salad Sandwich (Brown Bag Recipe) image

This is a very simple recipe I threw together...nothing fancy...just a brown bag recipe to give a little variety at the office...I get so tired of ordinary sandwiches. I like to take this spread separately in a tupperware container and then take along toasted wheat bread in a ziploc and slices of tomatoes in another ziploc bag and assemble at work so it is not soggy. Very easy and really quite tasty. I suppose you could also add olives if you like them.

MEL'S CRAB SALAD



Mel's Crab Salad image

I tried for years to duplicate the crab salad that was made in the seafood market i used to work for, but never could. However, I came up with this one and prefer it a whole lot more. My daughter will hide with the batch I make and eat it all. She doesn't like to share. Serve with club-style crackers.

DEVILED CRAB SALAD SANDWICHES

Categories     Egg     Fish     Leafy Green     Mustard     Onion     Vegetable     Freeze/Chill     No-Cook

Yield Makes 16 triangular three-layer tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat (about 2 cups)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup thinly sliced celery
12 thin slices pumpernickel bread (about 3 1/2 inches square and 1/8 inch thick)
8 tablespoons softened butter
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 hard-boiled eggs, thinly sliced
2-3 heads of crisp baby lettuce

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium-sized bowl combine the crab, mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, mustard, scallions, and celery. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly distributed and well coated with mayonnaise.
  • 2. Place four slices of bread on a clean surface and spread a half tablespoon of butter on each slice. Spread each slice with one sixth of the crab salad and top with thin layers of onion, egg, and baby lettuce.
  • 3. Butter both sides of four more slices of bread and top each half sandwich with one of these slices. Spread each sandwich with a third of the remaining deviled crab and the remaining onion, egg, and lettuce.
  • 4. Close the sandwiches with the four remaining bread slices, spread on oneside with the rest of the butter. Press firmly, butter side down, to "seal" the sandwich.
  • 5. Slice off crusts then slice each sandwich into four triangular finger sandwiches and place on a platter.
  • 6. Cover sandwiches with damp paper towel and plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes. (Crab salad may be made up to one day ahead and the assembled sandwiches up to several hours ahead.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a delicate flavor and texture, making it ideal for crab salad sandwiches.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: Don't limit yourself to just crab meat. Add other ingredients like celery, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice to create a flavorful and balanced salad.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the crab salad with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a sturdy bread: A sturdy bread will hold up to the moisture of the crab salad. Some good options include sourdough, wheat, or French bread.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread will give it a nice crunch and help it to hold up better to the crab salad.
  • Serve immediately: Crab salad sandwiches are best served immediately after they are made.

Conclusion:

Crab salad sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch option. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for packing in a brown bag or enjoying at home. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy lunch, give crab salad sandwiches a try.
