Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crab Salad
- Begin by gathering all ingredients for your Crab Salad. Ensure the crab meat is shell-free and has a tender texture. Rinse and finely chop the celery and red bell pepper into small pieces to enhance the salad's crunch. Next, chop your fresh herbs and squeeze the lemon juice.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the crab meat, diced celery, red bell pepper, and chopped herbs.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the combined ingredients and toss until evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, present your Crab Salad in elegant dishes or jars.

Notes
Always use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor and avoid imitation crab. Chill time is essential for flavor melding.
