Creamy Crab Pasta Salad
"This creamy crab pasta salad goes together quickly, and we love the mixture of imitation crab, vegetables, and an easy homemade dressing. Pair fresh flavors with chunks of crab and you have a tasty side dish or a meal. Make this deli-style crab salad for picnics, parties, and cookouts throughout the year. We think this is better than store-bought too. Imitation Crab Pasta Salad In this recipe, I use imitation crab. Here is why, it does not have an overpowering fishy flavor, it is safe to eat cold right out of the package, it is easy to cut up in large chunks, it is inexpensive and easy to find ar our local grocery stores year-round. However, if you want to use real crab meat, make sure that it is cooked through first, then remove the shell and cut up in large chunks. "
