How do you store leftover crab salad?
Leftover crab salad can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. To extend its shelf life, try adding a few drops of lemon juice or white wine vinegar to the container before sealing it. Be sure to store it in the refrigerator and make sure that it is thoroughly reheated before eating, as this will help keep you safe from any potential food-borne illnesses.

This is a really easy and great recipe to make no matter what time of the year. Since it calls for the canned king crab meat, you should be able to locate it in most stores no matter the season of the year.
I love making this recipe because it definitely is an easy dish to make. Sometimes I change up the dish somewhat by adding onion and green pepper to it. But it depends on your own taste buds as to what you will decide to add to it. I normally start out with the recipe I posted above, and then may try slowly adding one or two new ingredients till I have it done, the way I feel at the time.
If you are going to deviate from the recipe I posted above, please be sure to try a small amount of crab salad first. Make sure you are tasting as you do this. You can always omit whatever does not work for you at the time.
