Delicious Crab Salad – A Light and Refreshing Dish

Instructions for Making Delicious Crab Salad

Step 1: Prepare the Crab Meat

1. If using fresh crab, ensure that it is fully cooked, then carefully pick through the meat to remove any shell fragments.
2. For lump or imitation crab, roughly chop it into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2: Mix the Vegetables and Herbs

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped celery, red bell pepper, red onion, and cucumber (if using).
2. Add the fresh dill to the vegetables and stir until evenly combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Dressing

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until smooth and creamy.
2. Season the dressing with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the lemon juice for brightness if needed.

Step 4: Combine the Salad

1. Gently fold the crab meat into the vegetable mixture in the large bowl.
2. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss lightly to coat all ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix, as the crab meat can break down.

Step 5: Chill and Garnish

1. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
2. Just before serving, sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
