Ingredients
- 1 pound lump crabmeat
- 1 cup celery
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups mixed greens or lettuce
Directions
Step 1
Drain the lump crabmeat and gently pick through it to remove any shell fragments. Be careful not to break up the chunks too much.
Step 2
Finely dice the celery and red bell pepper. Thinly slice the green onions. Chop the fresh parsley.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Creole seasoning, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth to create the dressing.
Step 4
Add the crabmeat, celery, red bell pepper, green onions, and parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold everything together until well mixed, being careful not to break the crabmeat.
Step 5
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
To serve, arrange the mixed greens or lettuce on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the crabmeat salad on top of the greens.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of Creole seasoning for extra flair. Serve chilled and enjoy!
