Crab and Salmon Salad Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of premium crab meat, drained
• 1 can of salmon, drained and flaked
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons finely diced celery
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh Italian bread for serving

Instructions:

1. Drain the crab meat and salmon thoroughly, ensuring excess liquid is removed.
2. In a large bowl, gently break up the salmon into flakes.
3. Add the crab meat, being careful not to break up the lumps too much.
4. In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, diced celery, red onion, lemon juice and Dijon mustard.
5. Gently fold the mayonnaise mixture into the seafood until well combined.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Slice and toast Italian bread until golden brown.
8. Generously spread the seafood mixture on the toasted bread.
9. Serve immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy.

Pro Tip: For the best texture, let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
