Ingredients
- 1 lb jumbo lump crab meat
- 2 tablespoons scallions sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1 pack pretzel slider rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce shredded
Instructions
- Prepare the Crab Salad: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the jumbo lump crab meat, sliced scallions, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much; you want to keep those beautiful chunks intact. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, Sriracha, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and lemon juice until well combined. Pour the dressing over the crab mixture and gently fold together until the crab is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Seal the crab salad in an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes to let the flavors blend beautifully.
- Prepare the Slider Rolls: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the pretzel slider rolls in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up. Brush the cut sides of the rolls with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the Sliders: Place a small handful of shredded iceberg lettuce on the bottom half of each pretzel slider roll. Generously spoon the chilled crab salad onto the lettuce. Place the top half of the roll over the salad to complete the slider.
- Serve: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and garnish with additional chopped parsley or a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning, if desired. Serve immediately.
