Ingredients
  

  • 454 grams Imitation crab
  • ¼ cup green onion (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup celery finely diced (optional)
  • ½ cup Hellman's mayonnaise Note: Using a different type of mayonnaise will change the flavor entirely. My preference is Hellmann’s for its balanced, creamy taste, but you can use whatever brand or style you prefer — just keep in mind it will affect the overall flavor profile of the crab salad.
  • 1 fresh baguette, sliced into thin rounds, or about 8–10 mini croissants, halved
  • Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
  • Small lemon wedges or tiny lemon pieces, for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Crab Salad
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced imitation crab, chopped green onion, celery (if using), and mayonnaise.
  2. Stir gently until evenly coated.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavours to blend.
Assemble the Sandwiches
  1. If using baguette slices, arrange them on a serving platter.
  2. If using mini croissants, slice in half horizontally and place open-faced on a platter.
  3. Spoon a generous amount of the chilled crab salad mixture onto each piece.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Top each with a fresh parsley leaf and a tiny piece of lemon.
  2. Serve cold.
