Imitation Crab Salad
Imitation crab salad is super simple but really delicious. It is great as a dip with pita chips, piled on bread for a sandwich, served in lettuce cups for an extra fresh option, or serve on crostini or in a pastry shell for a fun appetizer.

Notes
This salad works great as a dip or as a filling for sandwiches. It is also great served over greens or in lettuce cups. You can even add a little bit extra dressing and some cooked and cooled pasta for a fun pasta salad.
Leftover crab salad should be stored in the refrigerator. It is best used within a few days, so scale down the recipe if you don't think you can use it fast enough. I do not recommend freezing crab salad. It is better to make it and use it within those few days.
