Crab Pasta Salad
Bright and flavorful Crab Pasta Salad is a delicious combination of crab, peas, red onion and red bell pepper with pasta, all tossed in a zesty homemade dressing.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces pasta of choice
- 12 ounces imitation crab meat or surimi
- 1 cup frozen peas thawed
- 1 red onion diced
- 2 celery sticks finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons whole grain or Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the 12 ounces pasta of choice according to package directions. Drain and run through cold water, then set aside in a bowl.
- Cut the 12 ounces imitation crab meat or surimi and veggies ( 1 red onion, 2 celery sticks, and 1 red bell pepper) and add them to the bowl with the cool pasta and 1 cup frozen peas.
- To a small jar add all the dressing ingredients (1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons whole grain or Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and Kosher salt and pepper). Shake well to emulsify, then pour over the salad.
- Toss to combine and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. The pasta will continue to absorb the dressing as it sits, so you may need to refresh the salad with a bit more olive oil.
- You may swap the crab meat with cooked shrimp.
