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.

EASIEST CRAB SALAD



Easiest Crab Salad image

THIS LIGHT SALAD WILL BECOME A GO-TO RECIPE in your kitchen. Taking only minutes to prepare, it can be served as a first course or as a main course for a summer lunch. Or spoon the salad on slices of fresh bread for a seafood sandwich. We prefer Dungeness crab, but King or blue crab can be substituted. Or skip the crab and use prawns, bay shrimp, or lobster instead. Add just a sprinkling of celery seed; its flavor is very strong, and you will need only a very small amount.

Yield serves 4 as a light lunch

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces cooked lump crabmeat, preferably Dungeness crab, rinsed and drained (about 2 cups)
2 green onions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
1/4 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 stalk celery, diced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh horseradish or store-bought creamy prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Pinch of celery seed
1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

Steps:

  • Put the crabmeat in a large bowl and pick through it with your hands, removing any pieces of shell. Add the green onions, bell pepper, celery, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, horseradish, hot sauce, dill, basil, celery seed, and Old Bay. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • The crab salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, covered.
