Crab Seafood Salad Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh crab meat (cooked and picked)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
- Prepare the crab meat: Make sure the crab meat is cooked and picked, free from shells and cartilage. You can use fresh crab meat or canned crab meat for convenience.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Whisk these ingredients together until they form a smooth dressing.
- Add the chopped dill, red onion, celery, and cucumber to the dressing. Gently mix all the ingredients together, ensuring they are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Add the crab meat to the bowl with the dressing and vegetables. Carefully fold the crab meat into the mixture, being gentle to avoid breaking up the crab pieces.
- Taste the salad and season with salt and pepper according to your preference. Adjust the seasoning as needed until you achieve the desired flavor.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the crab seafood salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- To serve, line a plate or salad bowl with lettuce leaves. Spoon the chilled crab seafood salad onto the lettuce leaves.
- Garnish the salad with some additional dill or lemon wedges for a fresh touch.
Enjoy your crab seafood salad! It can be served on its own, as a sandwich filling, or as a side dish with your favorite seafood or summer meals. Feel free to customize the recipe with additional ingredients like avocado, cherry tomatoes, or herbs, according to your taste. 🦀🥗
