Can’t get enough! We’re making this salad for the third time this week. | February 8, 2025

Crab salad is a delightful dish that brings a taste of the coast to our Midwestern table. It’s a creamy, chunky, and chilled salad that’s perfect for warm days or as a refreshing side dish. This recipe is a favorite in our family because it’s both simple to make and a real crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re hosting a summer gathering or just want to treat your family to something special, this crab salad is sure to be a hit.
Crab salad pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. For a light meal, serve it on a bed of crisp lettuce with slices of ripe avocado and juicy tomatoes. It also goes well with a side of buttery corn on the cob or a fresh fruit salad. If you’re looking to make it a heartier meal, consider serving it with some crusty bread or alongside a bowl of creamy potato soup.
