This salad is a great way to use up leftover crabmeat. I had some leftover from a crab boil, and I used it to make this salad. It was a delicious and easy lunch.

I found this salad to be just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I was disappointed with this salad. The crabmeat was dry and flavorless, and the dressing was too sweet. I won't be making this again.

This salad is so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add a little extra Old Bay seasoning to give it a bit of a kick.
