Seafood  Salad

 

 

In the late 80’s, my wife and I would go to Las Vegas with friends on a regular basis.  Back then you could eat at a buffett in almost every casino for practically nothing.  These days, even with a coupon, it’ll run ya $30-$45 per person for dinner on a weekend.  Even so, we still do it.  One of the dishes I always go for in the salad section is the crab salad.  Sometimes they’ll have a shrimp salad.  And best yet, they sometimes have lobster salad. I’ve even seen a combination they call a seafood salad.  Mmmmmmm! It’s so good and so simple.  Here’s the recipe I use at home:

 

 Seafood Salad

 

1 lb imitation crab, shrimp, lobster or a combination

1 small  jar (2-4 oz) pimento

1 small can 2.25 oz sliced black olives

2 stalks celery (chopped)

Miracle Whip (salad dressing) or mayonnaise

 

Mix all ingredients with the mayo for desired consistency.

 

Be sure to flake of dice the meat.  You don't want too big of chunks.

Some people will add green onions and sweet pickles but I don't.  Once in a while I will add a cup to a cup and a half cooked small elbow macaroni.  Hey this is starting to sound a lot like my Tuna Macaroni Salad.  It is pretty close.  I guess a little chopped green  bell pepper would probably work too.

 

It's that easy!  I hope you like it!
