Ingredients
Scale
1 pound crab meat (preferably lump crab for texture)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (or to taste)
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
8 slices whole wheat or sourdough bread
Optional toppings: Fresh herbs (like dill or parsley), lettuce, or tomato slices
Instructions
Prepare the Crab Filling: In a mixing bowl, gently fold the crab meat to separate the lumps while being careful not to break them down too much.
Mix in the Creaminess: Add in the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, along with the Dijon mustard. Stir gently until the crab is coated in the creamy mixture.
Add Veggie Goodness: Fold in the finely chopped celery, red bell pepper, and green onion.
Add Zing: Drizzle in the lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Construct Your Sandwich: Lay out your slices of bread and generously spoon the crab filling onto half of the slices. Add optional toppings if desired.
Slice and Serve: Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, slice it diagonally, and serve immediately.
Notes
