  1. In a food processor, pulse 8 oz of flaked imitation crab meat for a few seconds until it's broken into smaller, bite-sized chunks. Be careful not to over-process!
  2. Add 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip (or mayonnaise) and pulse for another couple of seconds until the crab meat is evenly coated and the mixture is slightly chunky.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of finely chopped celery and 1/4 cup of finely chopped red onion.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon the crab salad onto 4 soft sandwich buns. Add lettuce leaves and enjoy immediately!
