This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use canned crab, which makes it a really convenient dish to make.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise-based salads, but this one is an exception. The flavors are so well-balanced and the crab is really fresh. I would definitely make this again.

This salad was so easy to make and it turned out delicious! I used fresh crab from the seafood market and it really made a difference. The dressing was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of crab, but I really enjoyed this salad. The sweetness of the corn and the crunchiness of the cucumber balanced out the brininess of the crab perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This cucumber corn and crab salad was a hit at my summer cookout! Everyone loved the refreshing and light flavors, and it was the perfect side dish to all the heavy grilled meats. I will definitely be making this again.
