Delicious Seafood Pasta Salad Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 (8 ounce) packages tri-color pasta
• 3 stalks celery
• 1 pound imitation crabmeat
• 1 cup frozen green peas
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1.5 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Rinse thoroughly under cold water until completely cool, then drain well.
2. While the pasta is cooking, finely chop the celery and imitation crabmeat. Briefly run hot water over the peas to defrost them quickly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gently fold in the cooked pasta, chopped celery, and imitation crabmeat, stirring until everything is evenly coated in the dressing. Taste and adjust the salt, sugar, or mayonnaise as needed to suit your personal preference. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
