Crab Salad Recipe

Updated on June 25th, 2022

This recipe for crab salad makes a fantastic dish for summer or any warm day. I have had my share of pasta salads but this was really good. Could it be even better than BLT Pasta Salad? I will let you decide. The dressing is a combination of mayonnaise, creamy Italian and parmesan cheese. The vegetables give the salad a nice little crunch. Some of the vegetables that go into this recipe include green pepper, green onions, and tomatoes. You could add other items as well such as broccoli florets or black olives. It is important to refrigerate this salad to allow the flavors to blend. I recommend 2-4 hours. This recipe is very simple and if you are looking for a delicious cold salad, this is perfect. Enjoy.
