Category: Pasta Salads

12 ounces small shell pasta
8 ounces imitation crab meat
1 stalk celery
1 can sliced black olives
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon tarragon
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup mayonnaise plus 1 or 2 more tablespoons if needed

Prepare the pasta according to directions on the package; drain and rinse with cold water.
Dice the crab meat into bite size pieces; then dice the celery into small pieces. Drain the juice off the olives.

Combine the pasta and all other ingredients together in a large bowl; stir in the 3/4 cup of mayonnaise.

Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated with the mayonnaise. If salad seems a little dry, add 1 or 2 more tablespoons of mayonnaise.

Place in the refrigerator and allow to chill before serving.
