Crab salad is a refreshing dish commonly made with tender crab meat, celery, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and seasonings. Some variations include ingredients like diced onions, fresh herbs, or a touch of mustard for added flavor. Originating from seafood-rich regions, crab salad is often associated with coastal cuisine, offering a light yet satisfying option for meals or appetizers. Nutritionally, crab meat is a great source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like zinc and selenium. However, the mayonnaise-based dressing can be high in calories and fat, depending on the recipe. To make it healthier, alternatives such as Greek yogurt can be used as a base. Crab salad pairs wonderfully with leafy greens or can be served atop crackers for a savory snack. It strikes a balance between indulgence and nutrition, making it a popular choice for seafood lovers.
