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

Scale
  1. 454 grams imitation flaked crab, patted dry

  2. 4 large hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped

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

  4. 1/2 cup diced cucumber

  5. 1 cup canned corn, drained well

  6. 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  7. 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar (or substitute with rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar)

  8. 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

  9. 1/4 teaspoon salt

  10. 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

 

  • 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

  • This salad can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.

 

  • If you can’t find champagne vinegar, you can substitute with rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a slightly different flavor.
