How to Make Seafood Salad
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
If the imitation crab comes in large pieces, gently pull it apart with your fingers or a fork into bite-sized flakes. Finely dice the celery and red onion — smaller pieces help distribute flavor evenly throughout the salad.
Step 2: Mix
In a large bowl, combine the flaked crab, celery, and red onion. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, and Old Bay seasoning.
Step 3: Toss and Season
Gently fold everything together with a spoon or spatula, being careful not to break up the crab too much. Season with salt and pepper, then taste and adjust as needed.
Step 4: Chill (Optional)
The salad can be served right away, but for best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow everything to come together.
