I love this recipe. It is a hit anytime it is made, Not just for summer, but for any time. Love, love, love it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We love, love, love this seafood salad recipe too, Donna! Using King Crab style imitation crab and small shrimp gives the salad a meaty texture. Celery and an assortment of bell peppers add crunch and color to the salad. It's quite tasty with crispy lettuce on a toasted bun. This would be the perfect addition to any pot luck, luncheon, or special occasion on your calendar!

How To Make savory summer seafood salad

  • Celery chopped with the green, red and yellow bell peppers.
    1
    Finely chop celery along with the green, red and yellow bell peppers. It is better this way so that each gives just the right amount of taste for the salad.
  • Chopping the imitation crab.
    2
    Chop imitation crab meat and shrimp also if desired.
  • Salad ingredients and seasonings in a bowl.
    3
    In a large bowl, blend together the salad ingredients, with the Old Bay and celery seed.
  • Tossing to add the shrimp and crab.
    4
    Then add the crab meat and shrimp to the bowl. Toss with your hand.
  • Adding the mayonnaise.
    5
    Add the mayonnaise (do not add to much or salad will be runny).
  • Adding Splenda to the salad.
    6
    After mixing all the ingredients together, add the sugar packets. This is done to help with the acidity of the bell peppers and the Old Bay seasoning.
  • Ready to refrigerate the salad.
    7
    Refrigerate for about a half-hour to an hour (just to chill that salad before serving).
