Delicious & Easy Crab Salad

I recently made an easy-to-prepare crab salad that we loved. It was from one of my go-to recipe sources - allrecipes.com (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/crab-salad/) While the recipe was tasty with crab claw meat, the next time, I'll make it with lump blue crab meat. While the recipe says it serves 4, I think it would easily serve 6. As an appetizer, it would serve more. Also, I used one pound of crab rather than the two pounds called for in the recipe.

The author of the recipe suggests serving it on crackers, on lettuce, or in puff pastry shells.

Ingredients

- 2 pounds crab meat
- 2 & 1/2 cups of chopped celery
- 8 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons of celery seed
- 1 pinch paprika
- 2 & 1/2 tablespoons of white sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 teaspoons of dried parsley

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the crabmeat, celery, mayonnaise, celery seed, paprika, sugar, pepper, Old Bay, and parsley. Mix well, and refrigerate until chilled.
