I made this salad after I saw the Paula Dean Cooking Show on channel 39 out of Pittsburgh. I just used regualar lumped crabmeat - not the blue crabmeat. My husband and I just loved it. This will be excellent to make during the summer season. I cannot tell you how many recipes I make after watching the show. They are all a huge success. Also, easy to prepare which I like.

This was such a delicious recipe and so easy. My husband loved it and he is not a big salad person. He thought it was hearty and full of flavor. Even better the second day.

Absolutely loved this salad. The fresh basil made all the difference. However, there is ABSOLUTELY NO NEED to add crab. Really. Next time I make it I will leave out the crab. A sure summer favorite.
