Crab Pasta Salad
I like pasta salads as they are easy to make and can be dressed up any way you like. This is something I just threw together and it was well liked.
Ingredients
- 250 grams dry spiral pasta, or any bite size pasta you like, (8 oz)
- 500 grams imitation crab, cut into bite size pieces, (1 lb)
- 4-5 spring onions, chopped
- 1 handful fresh dill, chopped
- mayo, as needed
- black pepper, as desired, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and then add the pasta. Cook until tender. Drain and run under cold water, drain and let set in the colander for a few minutes to drain very well. Place in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the crab, spring onion, and dill.
- Ad 2 big spoonfuls of mayo and gently mix into the salad to coat everything in mayo, add more as needed to get the consistency you desire. Goal is well coated, not dripping, in mayo. Season with black pepper as desired. Cover and place in the fridge to chill for several hours, serve with any main dish or as is for a light meal.
Notes
The imitation crab will cost 52 Baht/250 grams, 104 for 500 grams. The pasta I used was Fusilli (spiral) from Italy for 35 Baht/250 grams. For 6 servings, this is about 72 cents per serving.
