  • ½ cup celery finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons red onion finely chopped

  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • ½ cup mayonnaise can use low fat if desired
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh dill chopped, plus more for garnish

Preparation

  • Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl. Stir gently to combine.
  • Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to 2 days.
  • Sprinkle with additional chopped dill for garnish if desired.

Notes

I use imitation crab flakes because they’re already cut into bite sized pieces. You can also buy the stick-style imitation crab and slice it yourself. Of course you can substitute in fresh crab if you have access to it! I highly recommend using fresh dill, the flavor is superior to dried dill. If you need to use dried dill, you can substitute ½ teaspoon of dried for fresh.
