Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package imitation crabmeat, shredded
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup zesty Italian salad dressing
1/8 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
salt
4 leaves iceberg lettuce
8 slices of toasted bread

Steps:

  • Mix first seven ingredients.
  • Lay one lettuce leaf each on four pieces of toast.
  • Scoop filling on top of lettuce and place other piece of toast on top.
  • Slice sandwich in the middle and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality canned crab. Look for brands that use wild-caught crab and pack the crab in its natural juices. Avoid canned crab that contains fillers or preservatives.
  • Flake the crab meat gently. Use a fork or your fingers to carefully separate the crab meat into small pieces. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much, as this will make the salad less flavorful.
  • Use a variety of fresh vegetables. Celery, onion, and red bell pepper are all classic additions to crab salad. However, you can also use other vegetables, such as cucumber, carrot, or avocado. Be sure to chop the vegetables finely so that they blend well with the crab meat.
  • Use a creamy dressing. Mayonnaise is the traditional dressing for crab salad, but you can also use other creamy dressings, such as Greek yogurt, sour cream, or avocado mayonnaise. Be sure to season the dressing to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Serve the crab salad on a variety of breads. Crab salad sandwiches are classic, but you can also serve the salad on crackers, toast, or lettuce wraps.

Crab salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or a special occasion meal, crab salad is sure to please.
