Salade de pâtes au crabe

Ingrédients

• 12 oz rotini pasta
• 1 tsp salt (for pasta water)
• 1 lb imitation crab meat, roughly chopped
• 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced small
• 1/3 cup red onion, diced small
• 2 stalks celery, sliced thin
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise

• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Préparation

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rotini according to package directions until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water until completely cooled. Let sit in colander a few minutes to drain well.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks, roughly chop the crab meat and dice all vegetables. Add them to a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

4. 4

   Add the cooled pasta to the bowl with crab and vegetables. Pour dressing over everything and fold gently to combine without breaking up the crab pieces.

5. 5

   Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. One hour is better.

6. 6

   Stir gently before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning or lemon juice as needed. Serve cold.
