This Seafood Salad recipe only takes about 10 minutes to throw together and is so much better than what you buy at the grocery store.
Seafood Salad is one of my weaknesses. You will note, that as a food blogger and generally weird person, I have odd weaknesses. Croutons , Spicy V8, and pickles are also on the list.
While it is so simple to buy seafood salad from the grocery store deli, I would urge you to make your own instead. It is so incredibly easy and a recipe that you will fall in love with.
Seafood Salad Ingredients
- Imitation Crab Meat: The base of this salad, imitation crab meat is a delicious and affordable ingredient made from cod. Though you could definitely replace it with lump crab meat.
- Salad Shrimp: I love buying frozen salad shrimp for this recipe because it is small, tastes fresh, and is always easy to find.
- Red Onion and Celery: These veggies bring a great crunch to the salad. If you don’t like celery you could certainly replace it with red bell pepper or English cucumber, removing the seeds to eliminate extra moisture.
- Mayonnaise : This makes the great dressing for the salad. I like to use light mayonnaise in this recipe to reduce fat.
- Lemon Juice: Fresh is always best when it comes to lemon juice, though you could centennially use bottled in a pinch.
- Old Bay Seasoning , Dill, Salt & Pepper
- Salt & Pepper
Make Ahead
This is a great make-ahead dish. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance. I actually love the recipe more after it has chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Leftovers
This recipe will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days when stored in an airtight container. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Serving Seafood Salad
I think that seafood salad is great on it’s own. But it is also delicious eaten on a croissant or a bun as a seafood salad sandwich. You could also serve it in lettuce or endive cups as an appetizer.
