Crab Pasta Salad
This Crab Pasta Salad is a family recipe, one of my favorites! Packed with veggies and delicious flavor, it's a staple at summer BBQs!
Ingredients
1 lb medium pasta shells1 pound package imitation crab meat cut bite size
1 can medium black olives sliced
1 medium red bell pepper diced
3 or 4 green onions sliced thin about two inches into the green
3 stalks of celery diced
Dressing
1 1/2 cups plain non fat yogurt see note
1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise
1/2 TBSP Spike found in the spice aisle (you can also substitute with 1/2 a tablespoon of Old Bay Seasoning)
1 tsp celery salt
1 TBSP yellow mustard
1/2 TBSP soy sauce
1/4 cup Italian vinaigrette salad dressing see note
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.In a very large bowl, mix the pasta, crab, olives, red peppers, green onions, and celery.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayo, Spike, celery salt, yellow mustard, soy sauce, and salad dressing.
Pour the dressing over the pasta and veggies and stir to combine. Refrigerate at least two hours before serving.
Notes
Do NOT use Greek yogurt for this recipe. It is way too thick and doesn't give the dressing the right consistency or flavor.
