I decided one day that I wanted to make up my own recipe for crab salad to take to the lake. I thought it would be so yummy to add some ranch dressing mix for extra flavor. I've gotten a big head about this because I have had people telling me it's the best crab salad they have ever had! So, here is my crazy concoction!
1 lb. imitation crab meat
12 oz. rotini pasta- cooked
1 cup mayo
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp. dill
1/2 tsp. tarragon
4 green onions chopped
lemon juice of 1 lemon
1/2 packet dry ranch dressing mix
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
frozen peas
salt and pepper to taste
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and let cool. Shred crab meat and place in large bowl. Mix mayo, buttermilk, dill, tarragon, garlic and onion powder, ranch dressing mix. Add to crab and pasta. Mix thoroughly. Add peas and green onions. Sprinkle lemon juice over all. Mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
