For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality mayonnaise. Fresh dill or parsley can be added for extra freshness. Feel free to substitute other seafood, such as shrimp or cooked mussels, for the imitation crabmeat. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

Mar 8, 2023I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I sometimes add a little bit of Dijon mustard to the dressing for a bit of tang.
