Saw this recipe on Taste of Home and had to try it. Their recipe called for a creamy Italian Salad Dressing and I used a Lite version, and called for 1 cup fresh broccoli florets, which was the only thing I did not have on hand, so I left it out. This salad is so quick and easy and is perfect for a hot summer day. So quick and easy, perfect for a Hot Summer Day! It is sure to be a family favorite and the summer has just begun!

CRAB AND PASTA SALAD



Crab and Pasta Salad image

Easy pasta salad using surimi (imitation) crab, pasta and poppy seed dressing. Pasta shells or gemelli will work, but rotelli is easy to pick up with the crab and I like the colorful pasta. If you only have a sweet poppy seed dressing, add some red wine vinegar or lime juice to give it some tartness.

Categories     Crab

Time 22m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups cooked tri-colored rotelle pasta
1 lb imitation crabmeat, chunks (surimi)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup poppy seed dressing (La Martinique or a sweet or sour variety)
salt & pepper
0.5 (8 ounce) bag mozzarella cheese or 0.5 (8 ounce) bag provolone cheese, mix

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles al dente, rinse and cool. I like to gently remove the water from the noodles by tossing with paper towels in my hand -- they hold the sauce better.
  • Rinse the crab meat and separate into bite sized pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the crab, mayonnaise, poppy seed dressing, salt & pepper.
  • Add the noodles and a handful of the cheese to the crab mixture and combine.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour, and add more parmesan to the top to serve.

CREAMY CRAB PASTA SALAD

I've been making this for years. I usually just "chop and dump", so I've gotten the proportions as close as I can, I think. Add more or less mayo, if you like, because I usually don't measure. The same with the tarragon and dill weed. Add more if you like it, less if you don't.
