I want to make a crab salad...?

Question

I need a recipe. I have crab and bell peppers so the recipe must include the peppers. It can be a pasta salad, a green salad, or a crab salad like tuna or chicken salad. What recipes do you have?

Not looking for research but recipes that have been tried or created by you or those you know.

Answer 1

Don't cover the taste of the crab. For every 2 parts of crab, add 1 part chopped celery, onion, and cilantro to the crab. Add a little sour cream, no more than 1 tablespoon for every cup of the mix. Season with salt and pepper and serve as a salad stuffed in the bell peppers. Garnish with a little chopped, boiled egg. Add a couple of dashes of hot sauce to spice up the salad a little.

Answer 2

Bellpeppers and crab are not a usual combo, so I'd suggest mincing the BP and just adding 1/4 cup of it to any recipes ppl post.


Fresh Crab Salad with Lime Zest

1 pound fresh lump crabmeat
2 limes, zest grated
5 or 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
Several lettuce leaves or thinly slice cucumbers, for garnish

In a bowl, combine the crabmeat, lime zest, and enough mayonnaise to evenly coat the crab. Taste for seasoning. Arrange a layer of lettuce leaves or thinly sliced cucumbers on 4 salad plates. Place the crabmeat in a mound atop the lettuce or cucumbers.
