How to Make Depression Crab Salad
- Shred 1 large head of lettuce into thin (1/4-inch) strips.
- Finely dice 1/2 a medium onion. (Adjust amount to your preference; the recipe calls for at least 1/2 onion per head of lettuce)
- Gently combine shredded lettuce and diced onion in a large bowl.
- Add 4 ounces of lump crab meat (or more, to taste; the recipe suggests at least 4 ounces of crab per head of lettuce).
- Add 1 cup mayonnaise, mixing well to coat.
- Gradually add more mayonnaise (up to 1/2 cup more), mixing thoroughly after each addition, until desired consistency is reached.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Aim for visible black pepper dots)
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. The salad actually improves with time!
