Ingredients for Seafood Salad
I use shrimp and imitation crab in this recipe, but you can use any combination of seafood you’d like.
- Shrimp: Use cooked medium shrimp that is peeled and chilled. If you have raw shrimp, cook just until pink and opaque, and then chill before using.
- Crab: I use imitation crab meat in this salad because it’s budget-friendly and easy to find. I cut it into bite-sized pieces.
- Celery: Celery adds a nice crunch and freshness to the dish.
- Green Onion: Finely diced green onion adds flavor without overpowering the seafood.
- Dressing: The base of this dressing is mayonnaise. Fresh lemon juice and fresh dill add a bright flavor, while Old Bay seasoning enhances the flavor of the seafood.
Variations
- Chopped hardboiled eggs add texture, crunch, and color to seafood salad.
- Green onion can be replaced with 1 tablespoon of finely minced red onion.
- Add other fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
- Additional veggies can be added—try red bell pepper, tomato, or diced cucumber.
