Fried Pies & Fireflies Signature Pasta Crab Salad

If you have a Memorial Day get-together this weekend, 
you may want to take our easy Pasta Crab Salad.  

That sweet mechanic and I developed the delicious recipe 
a couple of years ago and it's been a favorite ever since!

Fried Pies & Fireflies Signature Pasta Crab Salad

1 box of rotini pasta
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 cup mayo
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1 small package imitation crab--or you can use real crab if you like
1 TBSP Morton's Nature Seasoning, or more to taste

Boil the pasta and drain according to package directions.  Cool.  

In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, 
the imitation crab, celery, ranch dressing, mayo, 
pickle relish and Morton's Nature Seasoning.  

Stir until well combined.  
Taste and add more mayo and/or seasoning to taste.  

It's best refrigerated overnight and served the next day.

The cast of ingredients...

Use a food processor to chop the celery...

In a large bowl, add the celery, mayo, ranch dressing 
and about 2 TBSP of Morton's Nature Seasoning...

Boil the rotini as per package directions...

I use kitchen shears and cut the imitation crab 
into very small pieces....

I don't like big chunky crab ...
but that's just me...
you can keep it big and chunky if you like...:)

Add the crab and drained pasta next...

Add about 1/3 cup of sweet pickle relish 

and mix until well combined...

Refrigerate overnight and enjoy!

Delicious :)

In Loving Remembrance

of

My Daddy

Memorial Day is important because 
it is the one day set aside 

where we can honor those in service now,  

we can honor those that are retired, 

 and we can remember and honor those brave people 

who gave their lives in defense of our country.  

Let's make sure we never forget...
