I have made this many times. I always added a little more tarragon and lemon and served it in puff pastry shells. Everyone always complimented me on that appetizer and asked for the recipe.

Great recipe, but we added a little bit of sugar to bring the taste out. The sugar helped a lot. It was a little bland without the sugar, but still ok; but much better with the sugar. We only used 10 ounces of crab, and halved everything else out, and it still yielded a bunch of crab salad in the end.

Very tasty! I added can baby shrimp, halved crabmeat with lobster, 1/8 tsp garlic salt and tablespoon of finely chopped red onions. These additions required slightly more mayo blend. Topped with freshly ground pepper and couple sprigs of chives. From Owens ranch

I made a few adjustments. I used the premium crab from Trader Joe's [which I love]. Decided to toss in some cooked [cooled] pasta shells -- so, I made more dressing to accommodate this addition and dress the pasta/crab mixture. My only other change was using dried tarragon b/c my grocery store was out of fresh tarragon -- otherwise, I followed the recipe completely as written. I thought it tasted okay (I may not be a tarragon person, seemed to get more flavorful while in the refrigerator, and, I specifically made it a couple hours in advance so that the ingredients would marry and the salad would be a nice cold dish for dinner tonight. To serve, I placed the cold crab salad on a bed of greens, topped it off with some cut up radishes and fresh carrot sticks I cut up [husband loves radishes and carrots]. Husband thought it was a very good, very tasty, salad. It is a recipe worth trying if you love crab and crab salad.

Not much flavor. It was not bad just needs the addition of some flavor. i added avocado, but still was not enough. Definitely double or triple the amount of tarragon if you want to taste it. Good base recipe but again needs more flavor.

Easy to make, and excellent! The recipe lets the crab shine through, even with the herbs and mustard, although you do taste them. Just like a good lobster roll, you shouldn't expect much beyond great crab flavor.

We used high end canned crab, light mayo, and reduced fat sour cream, and it was still great. While we took the suggestion of toasting hot dog buns and making 'sandwiches' (even though we started out to make a salad for lunch, we love the other reviewers ideas for appetizers. A keeper!

I didn't care for this much. There are much better crab salad recipes out there.

Really good! Just enough flavor and mayo to add to the crab. Didn't take away any of the crab's delicate flavor. I did add more lemon juice, and substituted dry tarragon & chives since I didn't have fresh. Came out fine.
