- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 leaves lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)

Instructions
Finely shred the imitation crab meat into a large mixing bowl using a fork or your hands.

Gently mix all the ingredients together with a spoon or spatula until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
For the lettuce option: Spoon an equal amount of crab salad into the center of each lettuce leaf, gently folding the edges to create a makeshift ‘wrap’.
