1-Gather and Prep Your Ingredients: First, gently pick through the 200 grams of imitation crab meat or real crab to remove any shells, ensuring a smooth texture. This step helps avoid any surprises and keeps the salad feeling fresh.

2-Chop and Combine: Next, finely chop the 1/4 cup of red onion and 1/2 cup of celery to add that satisfying crunch. In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped celery, and onion with the 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of fresh dill.

3-Mix and Chill: Stir everything gently until well combined, taking care not to break up the crab. This method, with just a minute of mixing, keeps the texture light and airy. Refrigerate the salad for a bit if you like, or serve it right away with an optional garnish of extra fresh dill for a pop of color.
