Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 pound imitation crab meat flaked style or sticks sliced
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup celery finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Gently fold the mixture together until everything is well incorporated. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- This salad can be enjoyed immediately for a fresh, flavorful bite. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days to allow the flavors to develop further. For an extra touch of freshness, sprinkle more chopped dill on top before serving, if desired.
Notes
- I use imitation crab flakes as they come pre-cut into bite-sized pieces. Alternatively, you can purchase stick-style imitation crab and slice it yourself. Fresh crab can also be used as a substitute if available.
- Fresh dill is highly recommended for its superior flavor. If dried dill is necessary, substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of dried for every portion of fresh dill.
- Low-fat mayonnaise can be used if a lighter option is preferred.
