This crab salad recipe only requires a handful of ingredients and comes together in 15 minutes. For seasoning, we enjoy fresh chives or dill for some bright herbal notes, but you can easily omit or add more. The best part about this crab salad recipe is that it tastes amazing with both fresh lump crabmeat or imitation crab meat. Allow the crab salad to chill at least an hour before serving and enjoy within 3 days for best quality. Ingredients 1/2 cup mayonnaise 3 tbsp shallot, finely chopped (about 1 medium) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon chives or dill 1 teaspoon dijon mustard 3/4 teaspoon old bay seasoning 1 pound crabmeat (fresh or imitation) 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper, to taste Directions In a medium bowl combine mayonnaise, shallot, lemon juice, chives, mustard, and Old Bay seasoning.
