Curried Crab Salad Recipe (In Belgian Endive Spears)
This curried crab salad recipe mixes mayonnaise, finely chopped celery and onion, curry powder, and fresh cilantro, then gets spooned into crisp Belgian endive leaves. It’s quick to prep and even better after a short chill so the flavors settle. Serve it as a light starter or an easy party bite.

Step-by-Step Method
Mix the base
In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, diced celery, and chopped onion. Sprinkle in the curry powder and stir until evenly blended.
Fold in the crab
Add the crab meat and gently fold so you don’t break it up too much. You want nice bite-size pieces.
Finish with cilantro
Stir in the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust by adding a tiny pinch more curry if you like, keeping it balanced.
Chill briefly
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you can wait 1–2 hours, the flavor comes together more smoothly.
Fill the endive leaves
Pat the endive leaves dry. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of the crab mixture into each leaf.
Serve
Serve right away, or keep chilled until you’re ready. For crisp leaves, fill them close to serving time.
