EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

The Lump grade of crab meat is comprised of broken pieces of Jumbo Lump and other flake pieces. This grade of crab meat is ideal for crab cakes and other recipes where piece size is not important. You can use your favorite crab meat or try shrimp for a change.

Drain the tomatoes to keep the salad from getting watery.To drain tomatoes, place in a strainer after chopping and let stand 10 minutes.

Slim down this salad by using fat-free mayo and turkey bacon.

This was an interesting combination. I used the imitation crab meat (sort of shredded it) in this and spiced it up a little with Phillips Seafood Seasoning (to taste) before adding to salad. Everyone seemed to enjoy for our Father's Day gathering.

The bacon from the salad mix was over-powering and took away from the flavor of the crab. I will try this recipe again; however, I will use the Classic Pasta Salad Mix rather than the Ranch & Bacon Salad Mix. I also added Old Bay Seasoning to spice up the crab.
