Method: 

Combine all ingredients, taking care not to break up the lumps of crabmeat. Chill for at least 1 hour to marry the flavors.

​Serving Suggestions: (as shown) use the salad to stuff ripe Haas avocados; to stuff Creole tomatoes; make a sandwich with a sliced flaky croissant, crisp lettuce, and tomato slices; use it to top crackers or slices of cucumber; stuff celery sticks; eat it with a spoon.
