Description

Creamy crab salad with fresh vegetables and dill in a mayonnaise dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound imitation crab meat, flaked style, or sticks cut into slices
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish

Instructions

1. Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl. Stir gently to combine.

2. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to 2 days.

3. Sprinkle with additional chopped dill for garnish if desired.


Notes

I use imitation crab flakes because they’re already cut into bite sized pieces. You can also buy the stick-style imitation crab and slice it yourself. Of course you can substitute in fresh crab if you have access to it!

I highly recommend using fresh dill, the flavor is superior to dried dill. If you need to use dried dill, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of dried for fresh.

You can use low fat mayonnaise if desired.
