Crab salad is one of the best ways to enjoy crab meat. It’s super easy to make and a meal you’ll love for the summer season. All you need are crab meat (whether that's fresh crab legs, lump crab meat or imitation crab), crisp vegetables, fresh herbs, and a creamy lemon dressing that ties it all together.

Crab salad from the deli always feels like a special treat. But I have a newfound love for this homemade version. It’s simple and classic, with ingredient tweaks that are minimal yet substantial. It's amazing what diced shallots and fresh chives can do to this salad! So if you’re looking for a crave-worthy salad to make for lunch, or take to your next party, this seafood salad is one you can make again and again.
