Since changing my diet last year, I am always looking for ways to keep lunches and dinners on the lighter side. I was asked to put together a recipe with Crab Classic, made with Alaskan Pollock and King Crab Meat, and what I came up with is the perfect combo of delicious flavors. Crab Classic is fat-free, made in a 100% gluten-free facility and certified by the American Heart Associated as heart healthy. Win! Read on to get my recipe for Easy No-Mayo Crab Salad with Crab Classic.
If you love the flavor of crab but don’t need the added fat in your diet, Crab Classic is a great solution. Crab salads are always so delicious but usually not very healthy and typically loaded with mayo. My version uses no mayo at all! A little lime juice and olive oil together make the freshest flavor here.
Easy No-Mayo Crab Salad
Ingredients for 1 serving
½ an Avocado
4 oz Crab Classic Chunk Style, chopped
3 Cherry Tomatoes, diced (use less or more it’s up to you)
1 tbsp Red Onion, chopped
Juice of 1 small lime
Drizzle of Olive Oil
Dried Cilantro to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions: Basically, you can adjust this recipe according to your tastes but here’s what I did. Slice an avocado in half, discard the pit. Mix your Crab Classic, cherry tomatoes, and red onion together in a bowl. Lightly toss it with a drizzle of olive oil and the juice of ½ a lime. Add the dried cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Add more lime juice if you like, I did! Then, serve your crab salad in your avocado and ENJOY.
I love this no-mayo crab salad recipe that is heart healthy and fat-free! The fresh flavors of crab, lime, and onion are so nice together. I love eating avocado all on it’s own so it is great to have avocado with this salad as well. I think it’s so pretty when you present it this way, too. Besides being an easy lunch or dinner for myself it would be simple to make more for friends or family as well!

Have you tried a no-mayo crab salad yet? Have you tried Crab Classic yet?
I haven’t made one without mayo. Sounds like it would be a treat!
Wait a second! Gluten free?! That is new – I used to always pass this stuff up in the grocery store! YAY!!
I know some seafood lovers that would love this! I’ll be sure to pass this much lighter version along! Thanks for a great recipe.
I love crab salad and could eat it all the time. It’s great that there’s no mayo in this.
This would make a great light lunch for me. Crab is one of my favorite seafood.

I have never had a crab salad before but I was shocked to know that some of them have mayo in them. That just sounds so wrong. Passing this on to my hubby so he can make a decent crab salad for his folks when they come for a visit!
I too like to use avocado in place of mayo. I love the creaminess….not to mention the health benefits.
