### How to Make Our Delicious Crab Salad
#### Step 1: Prepare the Crab Meat
If you’re using **fresh crab meat**, ensure it’s already cooked and ready to go. Gently shred or chop the meat into bite-sized pieces. If you’re using **imitation crab meat**, simply chop it into small chunks. This crab forms the base of your salad and will bring the fresh, ocean-inspired flavors.
Step 2: Chop the Vegetables
Dice the **celery**, **red onion**, **bell pepper**, and **cucumber** (if using). These vegetables add crunch, color, and freshness to the salad. You can adjust the quantities based on your personal preference for more or less crunch.
