Servings 6
Ingredients
- 14 ounces flaked imitation crab meat
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup celery, finely diced
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 3 tablespoons red onion, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
- zest of 1 lemon
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, smoked paprika, salt and ground black pepper to a small mixing bowl.
- Whisk to combine, then set side while you prepare the salad.
- Chop the crab meat into bite size pieces. I used the flaked and cut each piece into thirds and found it was the perfect size.
- Add the crab to a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the chopped celery, red onion, chopped dill and chives.
- Pour the reserved dressing over the top.
- Gently toss to combine and it’s ready to serve. You can also refrigerate it for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Recipe Notes
I used imitation crab in this recipe, but you can certainly use fresh crab meat instead if you'd like.
