Mel's Crab Salad image

I tried for years to duplicate the crab salad that was made in the seafood market i used to work for, but never could. However, I came up with this one and prefer it a whole lot more. My daughter will hide with the batch I make and eat it all. She doesn't like to share. Serve with club-style crackers.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality imitation crab. Look for brands that use real crab meat and have a good texture.

  • Season the salad to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and you can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and make the salad more refreshing.

Imitation crab celery salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover imitation crab. With its simple ingredients and refreshing flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
