When I was a little tike, my mom used to make a crab salad that was divine with Ritz crackers.
We were talking tonight and she shared here little piece of heaven.
Granted, not able to leave perfection alone, I have added my own slight modifications (noted accordingly) based on things I have seen or learnt over the years.
Servings: 4 – 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 300g crabmeat, prawns or lobster (or combo)
- 2 ribs celery, finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp white onion, grated (when speaking to mom, we thought that I could tone this down for Zoey by sautéing them instead)
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise (Hellman’s real)
- 1/2 Tbsp sour cream
- 1/2 Tbsp hot sauce (my addition)
- Salt and Pepper
- ½ lemon – juiced to taste (my addition)
Directions:
- Dice celery and onion
- Brown onion in pan with olive oil on medium heat until fully translucent and just starting to brown (roughly 10 minutes) stirring constantly.
- Combine celery, onion, mayo, sour cream and hot sauce in a medium bowl.
- Add the seafood in the bowl and mix.
- Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.
You can serve this immediately. Great on crackers as a dip, filling for sandwiches or stuffed in ripe avocado!
Special thanks to my mom for sharing her secret!
