Provided by Mikayla Marin,Mashed Staff

Categories     side dish

Time 14m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 sun-dried tomatoes
3/4 pound pasta
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
¾ cups olives, sliced
8 ounces crabmeat

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the water is boiling, ladle a scoop or two over the sun-dried tomatoes in a heat-proof bowl, and set it aside. (If sun-dried tomatoes are in oil, skip the soaking step.)
  • Add the pasta to the remaining boiling water, and cook according to package instructions until it's al dente.
  • Drain and rinse the pasta with cold water, then set aside to cool completely.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, ground cumin, salt, and red wine vinegar in a large bowl, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Finely dice your onion and parsley, and slice the olives. Then, add them to the bowl with the dressing.
  • Remove the sun-dried tomatoes from the water, and gently pat them dry to remove excess moisture. Slice thinly, then add to the dressing.
  • Stir to combine the add-ins with the dressing until lightly coated, then add in the cool pasta, and stir again to coat.
  • Pick through the crabmeat to remove any shells, and add it to the pasta salad. Fold the crab in gently.
  • Chill at least 30 minutes, then serve cold.

CREAMY CRAB PASTA SALAD



Creamy Crab Pasta Salad image

I've been making this for years. I usually just "chop and dump", so I've gotten the proportions as close as I can, I think. Add more or less mayo, if you like, because I usually don't measure. The same with the tarragon and dill weed. Add more if you like it, less if you don't.
