Notes
Serve this crab salad on its own or as crab salad sandwiches (this recipe works for 4 hoagie rolls or 8 potato or brioche rolls) or tossed with cold cooked pasta for a wonderful seafood pasta salad (adding 8 ounces of dry pasta cooked according to package directions and cooled will make 4 generous servings). Or serve scooped into avocado halves or hollowed out tomatoes for an elegant meal.
Check the mayonnaise label if you're following a Paleo or Whole30 diet, or make your own Avocado Oil Mayonnaise, which is appropriate for either diet.
