fresh and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The crab taste really comes through. Our grocery store made this to feature their canned refrigerated crab and served it on... little endive leaves. Both my 8 year old daughter and I loved it.Read more

Excellent!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thank you FNK! My husband and I are fortunate to live by the Chesapeake Bay and have ready access to the infamous blue crab.... This crab salad recipe is by far the best. The dressing is light allowing the flavor of the crab to come through. The combination of herbs, etc...especially the tarragon-delicious (the herbs came fresh from our garden). My husband likes "tomato stuffed with crab salad." I prepped our garden tomato by removing the seed and pulp and quartering so the tomato "flowers." I set the "stuffed tomato" on a bed of romaine and arugula and thinly sliced cucumbers (again our garden produce) with a drizzle of the salad dressing, cracked black pepper and extra sprinkle of chive. My husband was impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.Read more

Delish!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So good...Very easy to put together. But I would recommend going to a fish peddler and getting the real crab. It's the... quality of the crab that makes it so good. Also, it would be great on toast as a sandwich and not just for appetizers. I will definitely make this again soon!Read more

Wow, this is better than any other crab salad I've had before! I love the addition of the tarragon. I haven't been able to... stay out of it since I made it. I will definitely be adding this to my regular recipe file.Read more

Great and Easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I loved the dijon mustard in this recipe - it added a nice flavor with the mayo and lemon juice. I made this a nice... appetizer. Bake some won ton wrappers pushed into a muffin tin at 325 degrees for 13 min. Cool, fill with the crab salad and top with some chopped parsley. A great finger food for a light summer party. Read more
