How to Make Bow Tie Seafood Salad

  1. Cook bow tie pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta quickly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked and cooled pasta, crab meat, shrimp, celery, red onion, and green bell pepper.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, pickle relish, Dijon mustard, salt, fresh dill, and black pepper until well combined and creamy.
  4. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. This step enhances the overall taste experience.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with extra dill or a lemon wedge if desired.
