How to Make Amanda S World Famous Krab Salad
- Gently flake 1 pound of cooked crab meat in a large bowl. Remove any cartilage or shell fragments.
- 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.
- While the crab is marinating, coarsely chop 1/2 cup celery and 1/4 cup green onions (scallions). Set aside.
- 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.
- Add the chopped celery and green onions to the bowl with the crab meat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise) until you reach your desired consistency. Start with less and add more as needed.
- 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!
