Description

This Seafood and Potato Salad combines tender potatoes, flaky imitation crab, crisp corn, fresh cucumber, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Tossed in a creamy, savory dressing with mayonnaise, fresh dill, and champagne vinegar, this dish is the perfect addition to any meal!


Ingredients

  • 454 grams imitation flaked crab, patted dry

  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped

  • 3 large white flesh potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces and boiled in salted water until just tender

  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber

  • 1 cup canned corn, drained well

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar (or substitute with rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar)

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

ย 

  • 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes:
    Wash and chop the potatoes, then place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Prepare the crab:
    Open the package of imitation crab and gently separate the chunks. Lay them in a single layer on paper towels. Place another sheet of paper towel over the top and press gently to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.

  3. Make the dressing:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, champagne vinegar, salt, pepper, and fresh dill. Stir with a spatula until well mixed.

  4. Assemble the salad:
    Add the cooled potato chunks to the bowl with the chopped cucumber, diced hard-boiled eggs, and corn. Gently toss to coat with the mayonnaise mixture.

  5. Add the crab:
    Carefully mix in the crab, taking care not to break up the delicate pieces. Gently toss until evenly incorporated.

  6. Chill and serve:
    Transfer the salad to a food-safe container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This salad can be made in advance and will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.


Notes

  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, you can increase the amount of vinegar to taste.

ย 

  • This salad is best served chilled and can be made ahead of time for convenience.
