Equipment

  • cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 12 mini rainbow peppers seeded, and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 8 ounces imitation crab meat
  • ½ celery diced
  • ¼ red onion diced
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ cup mayonaisse
  • ¼ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon dried or fresh dill

Instructions

  • Wash the mini rainbow peppers thoroughly. Carefully slice each pepper in half lengthwise and use a small spoon or your fingers to scoop out all the seeds and white membranes. Set aside.
  • If your imitation crab meat isn't already in bite-sized pieces, shred it with your hands into smaller bits.
  • Add crab to a bowl along with mayo, ranch, celery, onion, salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning.
  • Gently fold in your chopped cooked seafood until it's evenly coated with the creamy dressing. Be careful not to mash the seafood too much.
  • Give your seafood salad a taste test. Add more Old Bay seasoning if you want a stronger "seafood" flavor, or a pinch of salt and black pepper to your liking.
  • Using a small spoon, generously fill each mini bell pepper half with the prepared seafood salad.
  • For the best flavor and texture, allow the seafood salad flavors to meld in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • To serve, add a spooful of salad to each pepper. Garnish with fresh or dried dill and and enjoy!
