And my reply is always kind of =) This recipe is no exception. i don't think i've ever met a recipe i didn't tweak. So i pray no one out there will take offense @ my tweaking nature....

How To Make crab salad 4 a crowd

  • 1
    Soften butter so when you spread it, it doesn't tear the bread [2 seconds @ a time on high in your micro should do it (not melted)]. Lightly butter both sides of bread, stack in 2 stacks on wax paper. Do not butter heels. Trim the crust from stacks. Cut stacks into cubes and put in a very large bowl.
  • 2
    Chop onion and add to bread.
  • 3
    Dice eggs and add to bread. Mix well w/a large slotted folding spoon. Cover tightly, refrigerate over night.
  • 4
    Mix, Mayo, Johnny salt, pepper, cleaned, dried and chopped celery and crab. Cover tightly, refrigerate overnight. About an hour before you are serving the salad combine the the mayo mix w/the bread mix.
