Creamy Crab Salad Sandwiches

I’m pretty sure I’m addicted to crab salad. And my preferred way to enjoy it is on bread. These creamy crab salad sandwiches are exactly what I like the most. Chunky crab (imitation works fine, trust me). Plenty of creamy mayonnaise (Blue Plate is my favorite). And plenty of crunchy onion and celery. And you have to have dill. It’s the perfect combination for an easy, delicious lunch.

More Dill Makes Them More Better

If you have fresh dill, by all means use that instead of dry. I’d start with about half of a tablespoon and go from there. I’m pretty much a dill addict, so I’m sure I’d end up adding more. These creamy crab salad sandwiches are great, but they’re even better with more dill!

I almost always use Blue Plate mayonnaise in the dishes I make. I think it is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Golden Corral Crab Salad (Copycat Recipe)

Easy and delicious. That’s exactly what this copycat recipe of the crab salad at Golden Corral is. You can easily up-size this to make a big ole batch for a crowd without breaking the bank. That’s the point. This is a good, inexpensive dish that is perfect as a side and even better piled up on a bun or bread as a sandwich. Either way, you won’t be disappointed!

This salad is good and crisp. And it’s fantastic when served super-duper cold. And it’s just fine served just… cold. There’s plenty of great crunchy stuff in each and every bite. Celery. Yum. Green onions. Double you. And there’s great creamy and soft stuff, too. Like mayonnaise. And hard-boiled eggs. And finally, crab. Ok, imitation crab. Hey, this isn’t fancy fru-fru. If you have real crab, by all means use it. Take this salad to another level. But if you don’t have it, don’t fret even for one second. This is a great salad either way.

Golden Corral Crab Salad (Copycat Recipe)

Salad. Or A Dip. Great Both Ways.

You can also serve this copycat recipe of the Golden Corral crab salad as an appetizer. It’s great on crackers, so feel free to serve it as a dip. Or grab some mini-croissants and serve it as finger food at your next party. I could see myself eating my share and then some.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’d also bet that this salad would be good with imitation lobster too! And hey, if you want to put in real crab or lobster instead, go for it!

How Appealing

I always (ok, always when I remember) shave my celery before using it in a dish. It’s worth the extra few minutes it takes to do. It makes the celery come out softer. With no hard strings. And you still get a great crunch.
