Time 5h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ (8 ounce) packages tri-color pasta
1 cup mayonnaise, or to taste
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 pound imitation crabmeat
2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
6 carrots, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
½ sweet onion, diced

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the tri-color pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Rinse pasta under cold water until cool; drain.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, milk, vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl until smooth. Add pasta, imitation crabmeat, peas, carrots, celery, green pepper, and onion; mix until evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to let flavors combine, at least 5 hours.

This salad was a complete disaster. The dressing was too salty and the pasta was overcooked.

This salad was a little bland for my taste, but it was easy to doctor up with some additional seasonings.

I thought the dressing was a little too vinegary for my taste, but I was able to adjust it by adding a little more honey.
