I would love to try this salad with different types of crab. I bet it would be just as good with blue crab or snow crab.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I might have overcooked the crab.

The salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more herbs and spices.

I found that the salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the dressing.
