Crab Salad Recipe I was just with my aunt in Florida and finally watched her make her Crab Salad so I could get the measurements right.She starts by slicing a red or yellow onion into thin strips and soaking them in warm salted water to mellow the bite.Then, she adds a colorful mix of red, yellow, and orange bell peppers, loads of fresh lime juice, plenty of chopped cilantro, some good olive oil, and simple seasoning.
She usually serves it with tostones (which I make in the air fryer) for lunch and we love it, so I’m excited to share it with you!
