Creamy Seafood Salad

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS	AMOUNT
Imitation crab meat, shredded into chunks	1 pound
Mayonnaise	1 cup
Fresh lemon juice	1 tablespoon
Dijon mustard	1 teaspoon
Celery, finely diced	1/2 cup
Red onion, minced	1/4 cup
Corn kernels (drained)	1/2 cup
Salt and black pepper	To taste

How to Make Creamy Seafood Salad:

Step 1: Whisk the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Prepare the Crab: Break the 1 lb of imitation crab meat into bite-sized chunks or shreds. Gently fold the crab into the mayonnaise mixture until every piece is coated.

Step 3: Add the Texture: Stir in the 1/2 cup diced celery, 1/4 cup minced red onion, and 1/2 cup corn kernels. Toss gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the salad.

Step 4: Season: Add salt and black pepper to taste. If using, fold in the 1 tbsp of fresh chopped dill for a burst of herbal flavor.

Step 5: Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For the best results, let it chill for 1 hour or longer to allow the flavors to fully meld together.

Step 6: Serve: Serve the salad cold. It is delicious spooned over fresh lettuce leaves, tucked into a buttery croissant for a sandwich, or served in a bowl with crackers.
