Crab Pasta Salad

Are you a fan of crab? I love it! If not, you certainly can substitute chicken in this recipe, however, I think it is best with crab!

This Crab Pasta Salad is best the next day so make it the night before you serve it. Great Italian flavor and just a little zest of lemon add to this colorful, tasty salad.  I use imitation crab so it is less costly when serving to a large group.

Crab Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

12 oz. vermicelli broken into 1 inch pieces, cooked, drained and cooled.

1 medium red onion, chopped (approx. 1/2 cup)

1 medium green pepper, chopped (or use red pepper for a sweeter taste)

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3/4 cup Italian Salad Dressing ( lite or regular) I’ve also used a zesty Italian dressing!

1 cup Miracle Whip (lite or regular) If using mayo, just as some extra Italian spices and a little sugar to the Mayo.

1 pound crab or imitation crab, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

optional items: (black olives, celery, peas)

 

Directions:

Cook vermicelli, chop onion,  green pepper. Mix Italian seasoning, celery seed and parsley into Italian Dressing. Add Miracle Whip or seasoned mayo. Add lemon juice and crab. Refrigerate overnight.

Serves approx. 8-10

Remember, this pasta salad is great with chicken instead of crab.
