Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz lump crab meat
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 2 celery ribs
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • ΒΌ tsp fine sea salt
  • Fresh black pepper

Method
 

  1. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and slice into thin half-moons. Finely dice the celery and red onion.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Add the crab meat (breaking up large lumps gently), cucumber, celery, and red onion. Fold everything together until evenly coated.
  3. Taste and adjust salt or lemon. Spoon into a serving bowl or onto plates and serve right away, topped with a little extra dill and black pepper.

Notes

If the cucumber looks very wet after slicing, give it a few minutes on a paper towel before mixing it in. That keeps the salad from getting watery. Leftovers will keep for a day or two, though the cucumber loses its crispness.
