Ingredients:

  • 1 lb imitation crab meat, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Shred the imitation crab using your hands or a knife until it reaches a consistent, shredded texture. Finely dice the celery and onion.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and the paprika is evenly distributed.
  3. Combine the shredded crab, celery, and onion in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and gently fold with a spatula until every piece of crab is velvety and coated.
  4. Stir in the fresh parsley at the very end to keep the herbs bright green.
