My mom used to make a "crab" salad, back in the day...she'd use imitation crab, mayo, celery and onion and call it done. Although I love the taste of it, I wanted to jazz it up a bit. So although I list "lump crab", I actually made this with imitation crab. But the very BEST change I made was using Shane's (CulinaryAlchemist) recipe for fresh homemade mayonnaise. It WAS well worth the effort! (thanks Shane ;) ) You can find his recipe here: http://www.bakespace.com/recipes/detail/Mayonnaise-%28Sauce-Mayonnaise%29/5744/
