Notes

Variations and Additions to Crab Salad:
Seafood Salad- Add baby shrimp to the salad to turn it into Seafood Salad. This is a great option when trying to feed more people. Increase the amount of dressing when doing this.
Veggies- Celery gives this salad crunchiness, but adding peas, shredded carrots or red pepper will really amp up the crunch factor.
Pasta- Boil 1 cup of uncooked pasta, like bow ties, rotini or elbow macaroni, and add it to the dish to make a delicious Crab Pasta Salad.
