TIPS:

We can utilize fresh crab meat to get the best flavor and texture instead of imitation crab because you cannot get the same taste, sweetness, and texture with imitation crab.
You should make the mayonnaise at home by blending the olive oil or avocado oil with the egg because the homemade mayonnaise is healthy and fresh without containing harmful oil and preservatives.
We can put the crab salad in the fridge for at least half an hour; it can help to make this salad flavor and tasty and it also makes this salad creamier and delightful.
