CUCUMBER CRAB PASTA SALAD
This is best when it has time to chill. I've only had this using imitation crab, let me know if you used real crab with it. This is another recipe from my dad that people ask for every time they eat it. It's a good make ahead dish for pot lucks, etc. Prep time does not include chill time, although you could keep all your ingredients (including prepared noodles) in the fridge until you have time to assemble it.

Steps:
- Please note: cucumber and crab amounts are to your preference. The amounts listed here are a pretty good veggie/crab to noodle ratio.
- Do not use noodles larger than the medium shells. You can use smaller shell noodles, though.
- Boil noodles. Rinse well and let drain for quite a while. Stir them often when draining them to make sure all the water is out of the shells. The less water on them, the better the salad dressing sticks to them.
- Slice cucumber (with or without skin) to your preference. I typically slice it in half lengthwise, then do about 1/8 thin slices.
- Chop the imitation crab into chunks and add to the noodles.
- Sprinkle with salt and dill over entire mixture and stir. Dill should have a nice amount of "speckling" throughout the dish after stirring.
- If serving right away, pour approx 1/2 the bottle of dressing onto the cucumber crab mixture and stir, then slowly add more to lightly cover everything. You don't want the noodles sopping wet with dressing, but you want a nice thin coat on everything in the bowl.
- Chill until serving.
- If you are taking this to a pot luck or making it ahead, assemble everything but the dressing and keep refridgerated. Pour the dressing on just before serving.
- Keep dressing handy for left-overs because it tends to get sucked into the noodles if it sits in the fridge for any length of time.
- Optional: For presentation you can decorate with cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle with dill for garnish.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and firm crab meat. Look for crab meat that is white or slightly pink in color, and avoid any meat that is brown or has a strong odor.
- Use ripe tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes are more flavorful and will add more sweetness to the salad.
- Use a variety of cucumbers. English cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, and Kirby cucumbers can all be used in this salad. Each type of cucumber has a slightly different flavor and texture, so using a variety will add complexity to the dish.
- Don't overdress the salad. A light dressing is all that is needed to enhance the flavors of the crab, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as you make it.
Conclusion:
Crab, tomato, and cucumber salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Try adding different herbs, spices, or vegetables to create a unique and delicious salad that you will love.
