Crab Salad Recipe

This Crab Salad is requested pretty often by my family. About four years ago we visited some friends of ours and this was one of the salads served. To my astonishment, my picky eaters fell in love with it! It disappeared clean off their plates. Not everyone in our family likes seafood, so I never bought crab meat or other crab products before discovering its scrumptiousness. Thank you for the recipe Sveta. 😉

I usually serve it with mashed potatoes, the way kids like it. Other delicious ways to eat it is with pasta, between two slices of bread for a great sandwich, or in a tortilla wrap. This huge bowl is usually empty within minutes every time I make it. Crunchy, so flavorful, and loaded with crab meat! The salad is perfect for any occasion or just for a simple family dinner.

Ingredients:

1 small – cabbage head
1 can (432 g) – corn
1 lb. (454 g) – crab meat
1 bunch – green onion
1 long – English cucumber

¾ cup – mayonnaise (I used Homemade Mayonnaise)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Wash all vegetables well. Shred cabbage. Cut green onion and cucumber. Cut crab meat into smaller pieces. Store ingredients in one large bowl until ready for use. (Cover with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated until ready for dressing and seasoning; up to 4 hours.) Prior to serving, add mayonnaise and mix gently (to avoid mashing on the vegetables and releasing juice, which makes the salad watery).

2. Add salt and pepper to taste and mix carefully once again.

Serve right away.
