For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Dijon mustard or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. To prevent the celery from becoming watery, sprinkle it with a pinch of salt and let it sit for 15 minutes before adding it to the salad. Pat dry with a paper towel. If using fresh parsley, add it just before serving to maintain its bright green color. For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper. The quality of the crabmeat is crucial to the success of this recipe. Use the freshest, highest-quality crabmeat you can find.
