Delicious - DH especially liked the heat from the tabasco - I split the salad and hotted his up a bit. <br/>Will definitely make this again - it was really good on the croissants, and who can resist a quick and easy recipe, especially one that requires no cooking! I used spinach leaves instead of lettuce, that's our preference. Thanks for posting - made for Spring PAC 2012.

This was my very first ever Rachel Ray recipe and it was way better then I expected. I am not a big fan of hers nothing against her personally her type of recipes just don't appeal to me. This one however was Excellent and I will make this again. Thanks for posting.

This was great! I love crab salad and this hit the spot!! I used hot sauce instead of tobasco as that is what I had and used miracle whip for personal preference. I sprinkled on some old bay, too. Thanks, Rickoholic83, again for another great recipe!

mmmmm We loved it!! I was very careful with the tabasco sauce, just used about 5 good drops, just enough for a little tingle. Just made half a recipe for the two of us and we will be making these again (when crab goes on sale again lol !)We thought the combination of onion and celery gave a nice crunch and the 3 sauces created a lovely flavour and enhanced the crab. One little glitch, no amount of mayo is mentioned in the list of ingredients but is in the instructions, so I guessed, taste testing as I went, the mayo does cool down the tabasco, so the heat can be regulated with the mayo; worked very well!!
