Easy Crab Salad (Seafood Salad)
Description
The salad starts by combining shredded imitation crab meat with finely minced shallots and celery, providing texture and mild sharpness. Mayonnaise binds the ingredients, flavored with paprika for color and mild warmth, dill for herbaceous notes, and seasoning with salt and coarse black pepper to taste. The salad is mixed gently to preserve the texture of the crab and vegetables.
Refrigerating the salad for at least an hour before serving allows flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. This results in a refreshing, creamy seafood salad that works well as a sandwich filling, atop greens, or as a light side dish.
