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!
