Seafood Salad
Description
Seafood Salad features medium-sized peeled cooked shrimp chopped roughly and imitation crab meat torn into bite-size pieces. The creamy base uses mayonnaise blended with fresh lemon juice, dill, Old Bay seasoning, and dashes of hot sauce, providing a subtle herbal and spicy note. Celery and green onion add crispness and freshness to the mix. The ingredients are combined and lightly seasoned with salt and black pepper, then garnished with extra dill if desired, resulting in a cool, flavorful salad with mild heat and herbal complexity.
The salad can be enjoyed as a topping for crackers or bread or served over leafy greens like lettuce for a refreshing meal component. Its chilled nature and mix of textures make it suitable as an appetizer or light main dish in warmer weather or casual meals.
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days to maintain freshness and food safety.
