Servings: 4

This crab salad is a riff on the classic and ever-popular lobster roll. The buttered toasted bun brings it together, but if you want to skip the carbs, serve in a tender lettuce cup. Chips on the side are optional but fun.

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 large scallions, thinly sliced, white and light-green parts only (about 3 Tbs.)
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced; more to taste
1 Tbs. minced fresh tarragon
1 tsp. Old Bay Seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 oz. cooked crabmeat (pasteurized lump works well)
1/2 cup diced English cucumber
1/2 cup petite green peas, fresh or frozen
4 brioche hot dog rolls
Unsalted butter, softened (as needed)
1 small head Boston lettuce
