I also love this crab salad roll recipe that I make with imitation crab meat. With the price of a can of crab meat, you can bust your food budget quickly.
It’s nice to have an alternative so you can still pay your rent/mortgage, while still having a great-tasting sandwich.
As I mentioned above, this crab salad roll sandwich recipe is made with imitation crab meat, which is not Vegan or vegetarian because it comprised almost entirely of fish, although not crab.
Crab Salad Roll Sandwich
This recipe is so easy-to-make. Just mix together in a bowl:
- 1/3 cup imitation crab meat
- 2 tbsp mayo
- 2 tbsp chopped celery
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Old Bay Seasoning
- salt and pepper to your liking
and then put it on a hot dog roll. You can add a lettuce leaf if you want.
Also, you can toast the hot dog bun before adding the crab salad.
You can do this in a small frying pan by adding a tbsp of butter and placing the hot dog roll inside down until it browns a bit. That would be DELICIOUS!
I like adding Old Bay Seasoning to this recipe because it gives a little boost of flavor that tastes oh so seafoody!
Now, what to eat as a side dish to this lovely sandwich? I highly suggest Parmesan Rosemary Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes-6 ingredients or Air Fryer Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. They’re both crispy and delicious and go very well with a crab salad roll sandwich.
But, potato chips will do fine too.
Make a big bowl of this crab salad recipe for parties. Your guests will love it.
