Crab Salad Tortilla Wraps * Subway Copycat

"The kids told me this was definitely a "keeper" of a recipe. The hard-boiled egg really adds some depth to the flavor. Add your own flavorites to accommodate your family's tastebuds."

directions

  • In a mixing bowl, snip crab meat into fine pieces. Dice celery, mince onion, and add to crab. Stir and set aside.
  • Mash cream cheese, then add sour cream, mayo, lemon juice and sugar, mixing until creamy.
  • Pour cream cheese mixture to crab & veggies, mixing well. Set aside.
  • Using a pastry blender (or a fork), chop the eggs until crumbly-looking; set aside.
  • Shred the lettuce and set aside.
  • PUT IT TOGETHER: Spread about a 1/4-cup of crab mixture in a thin layer over a tortilla. Sprinkle with eggs and lettuce. Roll tortilla up very tightly.
  • LUNCH or PICNIC: Wrap each tortilla tightly in a slice of waxed-paper. Unwrap or cut in half and keep it neat!
  • PLANNED OVERS: Mix remaining crab, lettuce and egg, and have it for lunch the next day!
  • CHANGE OVERS: Add some French or Western dressing and a dab of horseradish with the mayonnaise to create more of a seafood saucey flavor. Yummmy! OR dip wrap in this! Even better!
  • Plan for two wraps per person, with "leftovers" being chilled and served for lunch the next day (or a late night snack?).

  1. I made up my own recipe a few years ago which was the same except for the cream cheese. This makes a huge difference. I also use Miracle Whip. I only use it for when I make crab salad. (I do not like it in anything else) It's sweet, less calories, and I don't need to add the sugar. This is now my new recipe. Thanks
     
  2. OMG!!!!! i just got done mixing this up, havent even made the wraps yet but i couldnt resist a taste. I also did not add the sugar and it tastes wonderful!!! i havent chopped up the eggs yet and dont think i would use them in the future but i will use them now, im sure they would taste wonderful with or without:) i would probly even serve the mixture as a dip for veggies or crackers because there is soooo much. Thanks for a great mouth watering recipe..a zillion stars
     
  3. I don't think this tasted at all like Subway's seafood salad but it was very good nonetheless. I mixed everything together to take to a potluck lunch and the 'sauce' part of it was overpowering; there was just too much of it for my taste. Next time I make this, I think I'll cut the sour cream/cream cheese/mayo mixture in half and see what happens. I also didn't really look at my package of seafood so it could have been a smaller package than what was called for. Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  4. Pretty good, but next time I think I'll leave out the sugar. IT was a bit too sweet for my tastes and I think the cream cheese and Krab would make it sweet enough.
     
  5. I love this crab salad. I have made it twice now. The first time, I made tortilla wraps, and the second time, mini sandwiches. I also ate the salad alone. This is a 'keeper".

  1. This was delicious!! I used quite a bit of green onion in place of the finely minced onion. We didn't think it was too sweet at all. I also added sliced cucumber and red pepper when I made the wraps. They were filling and wonderful! The only thing I might add is a bit of heat or another flavor. Subway usually salt/peppers and adds a dressing to each sandwich when it is made. However, it was very good as written. Debber, thanks for the recipe!
