Stuffed Artichokes with Crab Salad

1/3 cup finely chopped celery
2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/1 cup good-quality mayonnaise
3 tablespoons capers
1/4 teaspoon horseradish or to taste
3 to 4 drops hot sauce or to taste
Coarse salt or Fleur de sel to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 pound cooked blue crab meat, lump crab meat, or Dungeness crab meat*
4 large artichokes, cooked, choke removed, and chilled

*If you can't get fresh crab, look for the pasteurized crab usually sold in the refrigerated case of your supermarket or fish store.

In a large bowl, stir together celery, onion, mayonnaise, capers, horseradish, hot sauce, salt, and lemon juice. Gently fold in the crab meat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
