Imitation Crab Salad

So yummy inside a buttery croissant or on a lettuce leaf, this one is just perfect for a quick Summertime meal or any season meal. LOL! Very easy to make, I made this in less than 15 minutes.

You will need:
1 lb imitation crab (approximate)
2 stalks celery
1/2 onion
3 sprigs dill
2 1/2 cups mayonnaise
3 T milk
1/2 of a lemon's juice
2 T white sugar
salt and pepper to taste

How to make:
1. Coarsely chop the crab into 1/4 inch cubes. Put in a large bowl.

2. Cube celery and onion, small enough to provide crunch, but not too small that it disintegrates. Add to crab in bowl. Chop dill and also add to crab in bowl.

3. In a separate smaller bowl, prepare the dressing. Mix together the mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, sugar until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste according to liking. Adjust with sugar, if preferred to be more sweet. (I like my dressing to be on the sweeter side and brings out the flavor in the artificial crab.)

4. Pour the dressing over the crab mixture in the large bowl. Toss but do not over mix that the crab breaks up.

5. Place in a sliced croissant or eat with lettuce. Yum. You can wait to chill in the fridge as it is best served chilled, but I did not/could not wait.

Not the best photo, but it's delicious, so what are you waiting for?
