Description

A refreshing, creamy crab salad made with flake-style imitation crab, crisp celery, green onion, and a bright, well-seasoned mayo dressing. Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, dips, or light lunches.


Ingredients

1416 oz imitation crab meat (flake style)

1/2 cup celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 tsp Old Bay seasoning

1/2 tsp coarse salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Separate or chop the imitation crab to your preferred texture and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the chopped celery and green onions.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the crab mixture and stir until evenly coated.
  5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use lump crab meat for a more upscale version.

Swap part of the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.

Add cucumbers, dill, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Chop ingredients finely if serving as a dip.
