Jackie’s Crab Salad

Okay, this was delicious but I made some changes based upon personal preference and the ingredients I had available. First I cut the recipe in half and used real crab meat. Next, I skipped the celery because I didn’t have any and used about 1/2 cup mixed chopped red and green pepper. I also used celery salt in place of the celery seed. The Old Bay was great addition.

It was delicious although I cut the sugar in half and added 1/3 C sweet pickled onions. It was served on an Asigo Bagel It was very good.. I cut the sugar by half and added 1/3 c. Sweet Pickled onions. We had it on Asigo bagels. Delicious! ,

Used vegan mayonnaise and skipped the sugar. Delicious.

A very good salad. But when I make it again I would use a less black pepper. It is pretty peppery—which I like but not everyone does.

I loved the Old Bay in this recipe. It made ordinally imitation crab taste like real crab.

I that the crab salad was very satisfying and would definitely make it again! I did take the advice from other reviews and referred to another recipe. I only added about a 1/2 tsp of celery seed, added a couple of dashes of celery salt, garlic salt, garlic powder, 1tsp lemon juice, tsp of dill, equal parts of mayonnaise & sour cream (until it was the consistency I liked). I chilled it over night & served it on bakery Crescent

Loved it!. Only change I would make is to use half as much salt.

I added a bit of dill, garlic powder, cayenne, and True Lemon (ie, dehydrated lemon juice). I also used surimi (fake crab/krab made with pollock) and omitted celery and paprika (didn’t have them) and cut out the sugar. (Surimi is already sweet, and I’m reducing carbs.) Lastly, I used half low fat mayo, half avocado oil mayo. It was excellent and much better than store bought, at least once I messed with the proportions (I only eyeballed it because I was making a single portion and in a hurry.) I didn’t wait for it to meld, and it was still really good. I only wish I’d made more for later!

Delicious and easy to make. I doubled the mayo mixture as it was too dry as directed in the recipe.

Delicious and so easy!

Really turned out well. Reduced celery to 1/4 cup. Substituted 1/2 cup shallots and 1/4 cup red onion for onion. I’m not a very good cook and this made me look like a chef to my family!

I Added cheese & chopped water chestnuts, excellent with scoop corn chips.

Love this salad made it tonight and family just loved it

I make this all the time. Today I added radishes from my garden. It’s amazing!!

Tastes Great like mother made or the deli serves. Very similar to the deli version and definitely something I will make again. The family really liked it so this is a winner on all counts! The recipe is fine as printed, but I only used 5TBSP mayo, 1.5 pound imitation crab and lobster, and added finely chopped 1/2 green pepper and extra Old Bay Seasoning. Tastes even better when the flavors mix overnight. We just serve it on a lettuce plate with crackers. YUMMMM. Thank you Christine!!

Wonderful. I added a pound of fresh penne and about 1/8 a cup of green onion.

Got a great deal on the “artificial” meat on clearance. Went directly to this recipe. I added a bit more mayo, a couple Tbsp. It’s as good as I’ve ever had.

This recipe was good only used more mayonnaise, less than half the sugar, and added some onion and sweet pickle relish.

Thought this was great and very enjoyable. I halved the recipe (only had 1lb of crab meat), and substituted Serve for sugar (keto diet). Will definitely be making this again.

So good!

I made this exactly as it was written and chose this recipe based on the reviews & stars. Since Old Bay Seasoning already has celery seed in it and celery salt I was skeptical of the 2tsp additional celery seed that was called for. This was horrible! It tasted bitter and left a strong celery seed taste plus myself & company picking the seeds out of our teeth. I then rinsed it thoroughly in a colander to get as much of the celery seed as I could out. Then I remade it without the additional 2 tsp celery seed. Maybe everyone buys a different brand than I used, Durkee. Everyone who rated this seriously added the additional 2 tsp celery seed in it & not a 1/8 -1/4 tsp or left it out? It was a good thing I did not make this any earlier to let the seasonings blend well into the crab otherwise the crab after rinsing it probably still would have picked up the strong flavor causing an expensive waste. Now that I remade it we’ll see how it tastes tonight after letting the dressing meld with the crab and celery . I did add fresh parsley instead of dried. So far it tastes good but still will add different seasonings to improve the flavor more next time. At this stage still, I would only give this recipe 3 stars.
