Crab Salad is Best for a Summer Meal, but Enjoyable All Year

A favorite summer time recipe created with Waldorf Salad as the inspiration. Perfect for hot summer afternoons or evenings when it is too hot to cook. This recipe doesn't even get near a heat source.

Even without the optional pepper and celery, this is a a great crab salad, with immense flavor, savory sweet with a wonderful crunch from the carrots and walnuts.

This seafood salad is easily adaptable with any wrap, pita, pop over, or any bread selection. The crab in this Waldorf salad recipe base can also be replaced by precooked chicken, turkey, ham salad, tuna, shrimp, or even lobster.

Yes, this recipe uses imitation crab meat. To be honest, I started making this recipe with it because the cost was affordable. Now I use imitation crab meat exclusively because the texture works better than real crabmeat that shreds significantly. If you are looking for a mild flavored, shredded crab salad, this is NOT it.
