Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 454 grams (16 ounces) imitation flaked crab
- 3 large white flesh potatoes
- 4 large hard-boiled eggs
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1 cup canned corn
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Dressing Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare potatoes by washing, chopping, and boiling in salted water until tender. Drain and allow to cool to room temperature, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Delicately separate imitation crab chunks, placing them on paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Gently pat dry with additional paper towel to ensure minimal liquid.
- Create a creamy dressing by whisking mayonnaise, champagne vinegar, salt, pepper, and fresh dill in a spacious mixing bowl until smooth and fully integrated.
- Incorporate cooled potato chunks into the dressing, then fold in cucumber, hard-boiled eggs, and corn kernels. Ensure even coating with the tangy dressing.
- Tenderly fold crab pieces into the salad mixture, being careful to maintain chunk integrity and prevent breakage during mixing.
- Transfer the seafood potato salad to a sealed container and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. The salad maintains freshness for 2-3 days when stored properly in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and flavor in the salad.
- Pat the imitation crab dry thoroughly to prevent the salad from becoming watery and maintain its crisp consistency.
- Allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the herbs and dressing fully infuse the ingredients with rich, tangy flavors.
- Swap mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for lighter or plant-based alternatives without compromising the creamy texture.
