Fake, I dont see the reason to buy crab legs to get the crab out of them to make crab salad with, The fake is so much easier to use lol.

You could always do a half and half mixture of olive oil mayonnaise and NF greek yogurt. Maybe you could work your way up to full yogurt like I did.
I do this for my chicken and tuna salads so I assume it should work well with crab. GL!

Do let us know how it turns out!
Oh, yea- if you don't have greek yogurt, sour cream would work just as well.

You can also elevate the fiber content with almost no calories by adding finely diced or sliced celery and onion of some sort. The difference, for me, between the yogurt and the mayo, is egginess. Grated or finely diced egg whites (from hard boiled eggs) can add just enough taste to turn the corner- and minimal calories + added bulk

Sometimes I use mustard in place of mayo in tuna salad or egg salad, because it has no calories. You can add a dash of artificial sweetener if it is too tart.

If you use real crab, shrimp and fish, I would recommend making it ceviche style with lime juice, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. That sounds so good right now. I'll have to make some this weekend.

try adding chopped fresh basil and a dash of cayenne pepper. Let rest a while in the fridge to blend the flavors, and enjoy! A friend who's a chef taught me that trick. It's really good on crackers, but now I'd probably have it with celery sticks or cucumber rounds.
