Your Crab Salad Questions, Answered
Can I use imitation crab?
You can, but it's a different product with different flavor and texture. If using, chop it and proceed as directed.
Can I make this dairy-free?
The recipe is naturally dairy-free as written. Just ensure your mayonnaise is dairy-free (most are).
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of mayo?
Yes, but the texture and flavor will be different. Use half yogurt, half mayo for a lighter option.
Can I add hard-boiled eggs?
Absolutely! Chopped hard-boiled eggs are a classic addition to many seafood salads.
What's the best way to serve this for a party?
Serve in a pretty bowl surrounded by crackers, or spoon into endive spears for elegant finger food.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes! In fact, it's better after a few hours in the fridge. Make it up to 24 hours ahead
