Directions

1. Prepare the Ingredients
   If the imitation crab pieces are large, gently pull them apart into bite-sized flakes using your fingers or a fork. Finely dice the celery and red onion so their flavor distributes evenly.

2. Combine the Ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, add the flaked crab, diced celery, and red onion. Spoon in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped dill, and Old Bay seasoning.

3. Mix Gently
   Using a spoon or spatula, gently fold everything together until evenly coated. Be careful not to break the crab pieces too much.

4. Season to Taste
   Add salt and black pepper as needed. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if necessary.

5. Chill for Best Flavor
   You can serve the salad immediately, but for the best flavor, cover and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes so the ingredients can blend together.
