Ingredients

1 pound (450g) imitation crab meat
¼ cup (40g) onion, diced
1-2 green onion diced
½ cup (50g) celery, diced
⅓-½ cup (75-115g) mayonnaise
1 teaspoon (5g) Dijon mustard
½-1 teaspoon (2-5g) Creole seasoning
½ lemon
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
½ teaspoon (1-2g) dill

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the crab, onions, green onions, and celery.
In a smaller bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, Creole seasoning, and lemon juice. Chill until ready to use.
Next, add the mayonnaise mixture to the bowl of the crab mixture and mix until thoroughly combined—season to taste with salt and pepper.
Garnish with dill and serve on a baguette with lettuce and avocados or with crackers. The choice is yours.

Notes

Refrigerate an hour before serving because this tastes best chilled.
Add more mayonnaise for a creamier salad texture.
Keep the dressing and salad ingredients separate until just before serving for a fresh, crunchy bite to your salad.
