This creamy seafood salad with imitation crab is a simple and refreshing dish that’s perfect for lunches, light dinners, or casual gatherings. Made with shredded imitation crab, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and a touch of Dijon mustard, the dressing is smooth and tangy without being overpowering. Finely diced celery and red onion add a satisfying crunch, while corn kernels bring a hint of natural sweetness. Fresh dill can be added for extra flavor, but the salad is delicious even without it.
To prepare, the dressing is mixed first, then the crab and vegetables are gently folded in to keep the texture light. After seasoning with salt and black pepper, the salad is chilled to allow the flavors to blend together. Serving it cold over crisp lettuce, tucked into sandwiches, or paired with crackers makes it versatile and easy to enjoy. With minimal preparation and simple ingredients, this seafood salad is a convenient and flavorful option for any occasion.
