"When it comes to cooking, I believe the simpler the better," writes Holland, Michigan's Carol Blauw. "A few years ago, a co-worker told me about this colorful, tasty and, most importantly, easy-to-prepare salad," she says. "It has been a favorite at our house ever since."

I really appreciate people like you. I'm used to the standard meals of Hispanic food I cook for my family and in my new relationship my fiance is always randomly wanting something new so I thought I would be a few steps ahead of him since I herd he had a craving and here you are with this simple and easy yet delicious crab salad pasta mmmm mmm THANK YOU!!!!! God bless

very good. made as recommended, tasted it, good.  Then I added a few spices, sprinkle of Old Bay Seasoning, dash of lemon juice, dab of minced ginger.  I kept the noodles separate, after reading the reviews, I put noodles in a bowl and put the crab salad on top.  Thank you for sharing this.

I made half a recipe for last night.  In the morning it still tasted bland so I added a unused shrimp packet from ramen noodles, it helped but I still needed ground black pepper for some oomph.  I served it on top of a bed of greens, hard boiled egg and salad dressing.

This is the best Crab Salad I've ever tasted.  I started using this recipe back in 2010 when it first appeared on the TOH website .  I prepare it exactly the way the recipe states - no changes.

Very easy and very good.  Will be my go to for summer picnics.

This was really good..   My husband loved it, he said it very good for a light lunch.   Just might need to make it a bit wetter when ready to serve.  The salad soaked up the dressing that was put on, so much probably have to had a 1/4 more mayo and 1/4 more ranch dressing to it.

I always add a couple of boiled eggs to my crab salads and a bit of sweet pickle relish.   Adds a bit of oomph.

After refrigerating the salad for several hours, I mixed up an extra 1/4 c. mayo, 1/4 c. ranch dressing, and 1/2 tsp dill weed and tossed into the salad just before serving. -Lori in WI.
