Description

A flavorful and refreshing crab salad featuring jumbo lump crab meat, zesty mustard, and fresh herbs, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb Jumbo Lump Crab
  • 2 tbsp Scallions (Sliced)
  • 1 tbsp Parsley (Chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp Sriracha
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1 package Pretzel Slider Rolls
  • 2 tbsp Butter (Melted)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab, scallions, parsley, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, Sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay, and lemon juice.
  2. Mix carefully to keep the crab meat intact, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Cover the salad and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  4. While the crab salad chills, melt the butter and brush it on the pretzel slider rolls.
  5. Toast the rolls in a warm oven until golden brown.
  6. To assemble, lay down shredded iceberg lettuce on the bottom half of the toasted slider rolls.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of the crab salad onto each slider.
  8. Close with the top half of the pretzel roll and serve.

Notes

For added freshness, consider incorporating herbs like dill or chives. Adjust the spice level of Sriracha to taste.
