Notes

Can real crab meat be used in this salad recipe? Yes, you can use real canned of freshly boiled crab meat.
My salad turned out watery, what could be done? Make sure you drain the liquid from the crab, pickles and corn very well. Use a thick mayonnaise and yogurt.
Can this salad be made ahead of time? Yes, up to 2-3 days in advance and staore in an air-tight container in the fridge.
To make this salad lighter - skip the mayonnaise and use only Greek yogurt.
Pasta can be added to make a delicious imitation crab pasta salad.
