Crab Salad Recipe
Description
The salad uses picked-over lump crabmeat combined with finely diced celery and scallions to provide crunch and freshness. Mayonnaise acts as a creamy binder, flavored with fresh lemon zest and juice for brightness. A dash of Old Bay seasoning brings classic seafood spice, complemented by Worcestershire sauce's umami depth and hot sauce's subtle heat. The ingredients are gently mixed to keep the crab lumps intact, preserving the salad's delicate texture.
This chilled crab salad can be served on a bed of greens, with crackers, or used as a sandwich filling. The balance of acidity and seasoning enhances the natural sweetness of the crab, making it suitable for light lunches or appetizers.
