This Recipe Can be Doubled
: This is a great recipe for a crowd. Just double ingredients proportionally.
Short cut tip:
If you buy fresh crab you'll have to cook it and let it cool, if you want to skip this step, use imitation crab or get pre-cooked crab.
Crunch:
Add crunchy celery for a little crunch to the salad.
Herbs:
Fresh parsley or cilantro.
Mustard:
Try adding a little dijon mustard to the salad.
