How to Make Simple Healthier Seafood Salad

  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, gently mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, celery salt, black pepper, and onion powder in a medium bowl.
  3. Add the cooked shrimp, crab meat (fresh or imitation), and chopped celery to the mayonnaise mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Once the pasta is cooled, add it to the seafood mixture. Stir to coat evenly.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lemon juice for extra brightness or black pepper for a little kick.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh parsley or dill, if desired.
