How to Make Crusty Crab

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup crab meat (picked and flaked), 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional, but highly recommended for best results!
  3. Serve immediately with sliced crusty French bread, alongside a bed of crisp lettuce for a lighter option, or as an open-faced sandwich on your favorite crusty bread with leafy greens.
