When we were in Jamaica several years ago we had this wonderful salad. The lady who prepared it for us was gracious enough to share the recipe. She said just don't substitute any of the ingredients or the results would not be the same. I make it just like she shared and have never been disappointed.

I didn't like this crab salad at all. The crab was overcooked and the dressing was too tangy.

This crab salad is too spicy for me. I wish there was a version without the jalapeƱo.
