Gather all your ingredients - clean the crab meat, finely chop the celery, and dice the red bell pepper. Ensure everything is fresh for maximum flavor.

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.

In a large bowl, add the crab meat, celery, red bell pepper, and chopped dill or parsley. Gently mix together, being careful not to break the crab meat too much.

Carefully fold the dressing into the crab mixture until everything is well-coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Enjoy your chilled Crab Salad on crisp lettuce leaves or in mason jars!
