Ingredients:

  • 16 oz Rotini or Elbow Macaroni
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 lb imitation crab, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (usually 1-2 minutes less than package directions). Immediately drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water until completely cool. Shake off excess water.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Old Bay, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously until smooth.
  3. Add the cooled pasta, chopped imitation crab, celery, red pepper, and red onion to the bowl. Gently fold the ingredients into the dressing using a spatula to keep the crab in distinct chunks.
  4. Fold in the fresh dill and parsley.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld before serving.
