Ingredients
- 16 ounces lump crab meat not imitation crab
- ⅓ cup red onion chopped (½ small onion)
- ½ cup celery chopped (1 stalk)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp celery salt
- fresh parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- Drain liquid from crab meat and place in a medium sized bowl.
- In a separate bowl, make the dressing. Combine mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, Old Bay, pepper and celery salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Stir in onion and celery.
- Pour dressing mixture over crab meat and gently stir. You don’t want to stir the crab meat too much and ruin any “lumps” of crab.
- Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to marry. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Old Bay if desired.
