For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing. If you prefer a sharper flavor, consider using Pepper Jack cheese instead of Cheddar. Fresh shrimp or grilled calamari can be substituted for imitation crab or lobster for a more authentic seafood experience. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill before serving for a pop of color and aroma.
