Cooking tips

For maximum crunch, use only fresh iceberg lettuce leaves. If they're a little wilted, soak them in cold water for 10 minutes before slicing.

To prevent the crab salad from becoming runny, don't add mayonnaise ahead of time. It's best to season it just before serving.

Serve the crab salad cold. This will preserve all the textures and rich flavor.
