Ingredients:
For the Salad:
1 pound cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound cooked crab meat, flaked
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 avocado, diced (optional)
For the Dressing:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare Seafood: If using fresh seafood, cook shrimp and crab meat according to your preferred method (boiling, steaming, or grilling). Once cooked, allow the seafood to cool completely before assembling the salad.
Chop Vegetables: Dice celery, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and chop fresh parsley. If using avocado, dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked shrimp, flaked crab meat, diced celery, diced bell peppers, diced red onion, and chopped parsley. Add diced avocado if using.
Make Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
Dress Salad: Pour the dressing over the seafood and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to chill.
Serve: Once chilled, remove the seafood salad from the refrigerator and give it a final toss. Serve cold as a refreshing and satisfying meal option.
