Step 4 — Combine Everything
In a large mixing bowl:
- Add the shredded imitation crab
- Add the chopped vegetables and eggs
- Pour the creamy dressing over the top
- Gently fold everything together
Take care not to overmix — you want the crab pieces to remain intact.
Step 5 — Chill for Best Flavor
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the seafood salad for at least 1 hour.
This allows:
- The flavors to blend
- The dressing to thicken
- The vegetables to slightly soften while staying crisp
Chilling makes the salad taste much richer.
