IMITATION CRAB PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente. Since the pasta will be used in a cold salad, I drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water until the pasta is cold. This will remove all the starch.
• In a large mixing bowl add the crab, pasta, sweet peas, diced onion, and diced cheese.
• Make the salad dressing. Combine the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, milk, salt, and pepper.
• Pour the salad dressing over the crab mixture and gently stir the ingredients together. Serve it immediately or refrigerate and serve the next day.
