Ingredients for Amanda S World Famous Krab Salad

  • Imitation Crabmeat
  • 1/2 cup Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise)
  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped celery
  • Scallion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

How to Make Amanda S World Famous Krab Salad

  1. Gently flake 1 pound of cooked crab meat in a large bowl. Remove any cartilage or shell fragments.
  2. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice over the crab meat and gently toss to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the lemon juice to permeate the crab.
  3. While the crab is marinating, coarsely chop 1/2 cup celery and 1/4 cup green onions (scallions). Set aside.
  4. After 10 minutes, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed, 1/2 teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic salt over the crab meat. Gently toss to coat.
  5. Add the chopped celery and green onions to the bowl with the crab meat.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise) until you reach your desired consistency. Start with less and add more as needed.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly. This step is crucial for the best taste!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
