Open in Pepper →Cold Crab Salad Fixes A Hot Night
Some nights you don't want the stove on at all. A bowl of crab salad, cold from the fridge, spooned onto crackers or bread or a bed of lettuce, gets everybody fed without heating up the kitchen.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when it's too hot to cook, when lunch has to be ready ahead, or when a potluck needs something cold that travels in one covered bowl.
Every recipe here is a real version somebody makes: the classic Crab Salad with celery and onion, Imitation crab salad with shallot, Kani with julienned carrot and cucumber, Crab Pasta Salad with small shells, and a Seafood salad that adds shrimp.
Quick Tips
- 1
Chill it an hour
Mix it, cover it, and let it sit in the fridge at least 1 hour so the celery, onion and mayo come together.
- 2
Dice celery small
Cut celery into 1/4-inch pieces so you get crunch in every bite instead of long stringy chunks.
- 3
Rinse the pasta cold
For pasta versions, drain the shells and rinse under cold water 30 seconds so they stop cooking and don't soak up all the mayo.
- 4
Add lemon last
Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice right before serving to keep the crab tasting fresh and not flat.
