This crab salad mixture is great for toppings on crackers as
fingerfood or on sandwiches for those who want more of the good stuff! Takes approx 15 minutes.
IngredientsWhite

Hellmans mayo - amount depends on your taste and what the salad should be used for
Cayenne pepper - depends on taste - the
salad should have a little "hint"
Shallots - 1 - 2 depending on amount of
saladLime - 2 - 3 pressed limes per 2 crabs of white meat
Lemon for the finished mixture
Keep the claws as decoration or put them on the plate of the real crab lover.
1 - Mix
Hellmans, cayenne pepper, finely chopped
shallots and lime. Taste. Leave for 10 minutes - still need more cayenne or lime?
2 - Add crab meat and taste.
Fingerfood - crab mixture should be creamy/well mixed
Place the crab meat on small neutral crackers with a piece of cut lemon/lime meat on top. Alternate with lemon and lime topping to create an effect.
Sandwiches - crab mixture should be more coarse with pieces of crab still whole and less
HellmansAdd small pieces of lemon meat to the mixture. Place the mixture on neutral and soft bread. The crab mixture is the main ingredient - the bread just makes it easier to eat :-)
Enjoy!
