- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

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.
