Recipe: Presidential Crab Salad

Dad and I made this delicious dinner one night over Spring Break in Ocean Isle. He brought a couple pounds of crab down from Maryland so we put it to good use. 

We found amazing large tomatoes at the market in OIB on the holiday weekend. Kevin and my parents did some errands one day and they went to a produce stand and got the lima beans and corn. It was fresh and delish!



I happened to find this recipe in my big binder of old school recipes! It's email from my mom in July 2012! Oh the good times when she could email me!

Presidential Crab Salad
3/4 cup diced red onion (I used 1/4 cup)
3/4 cup diced celery (I used 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons of mayo but add more if need be (see how it looks)
Old Bay sprinkled in (she says until you get tired of pouring ha!)
1 pound crab meat



I boiled the lima beans for about 30 minutes and added bacon and salt and pepper to the boiling mixture. These were even better the second night! 

We cooked the corn in the microwave (3 at a time) for 4.5 minutes. You leave the husk on and only cut the bottom off to stand it up. Then after they have cooked you can push the corn right out. Add butter and old bay of course!
