Ingredients

4 servings

1 lb lump crab meat, picked over for shells
⅓ cup mayonnaise
Ingredient note
Store-bought mayonnaise and mayo-based sauces are made with pasteurized eggs, so they are generally fine during pregnancy.
2 stalks celery, finely diced
2 tbsp red onion, finely minced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp old bay seasoning
Ingredient note
Spice blends are fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution applies to concentrated herbal oils and supplements, not everyday seasoning.
2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
salt and pepper, to taste

For serving

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Old Bay seasoning until smooth.
2
Add the crab meat, celery, red onion, and chives to a large mixing bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined, keeping the crab in large pieces.
