Classic Creamy Crab Salad

If using imitation crab, chop it into bite-sized pieces. For real crab, gently flake it apart and check for any shells.

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, celery, red onion, bell pepper, and fresh herbs.

Make the Dressing

In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Combine & Chill

Pour the dressing over the crab mixture and gently fold everything together until well coated.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to let the flavors blend.

Serve & Enjoy

Enjoy your crab salad on buttered croissants, lettuce wraps, crackers, or as a stuffing for tomatoes or avocados.

Garnish with extra dill, lemon wedges, or a sprinkle of paprika for extra flavor.
