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 salad 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.

Easy and delicious. That’s exactly what this copycat 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!

Salad. Or A Dip. Great Both Ways.

You can also serve this copycat 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!

Crab Salad Wraps

I made a batch of these crab salad wraps for us to take for a ‘picnic’ at the Exit 76 Antique Mall. We didn’t want to leave the mall for lunch… we might miss out on a deal! Quick and easy bites like these hold up well for the drive down and require nothing special to eat. Just grab one and dive on in!

Delicious Wraps That Don’t Disappoint

These crab salad wraps are very tasty and are great for a picnic lunch or just lunch at your desk. If you can’t find fresh crab meat or it’s too darned expensive, don’t fret. You can use imitation crab meat. I won’t tell anyone.

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.
