In a large mixing bowl, combine the celery, chopped imitation crab, dill, mayonnaise, paprika, shallot, salt, and pepper.
Gently mix until everything is well blended.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled on its own, in sandwiches, or over a bed of lettuce with cherry tomatoes.
Recipe Notes
This salad is even better the next day after the flavors have developed.
For a healthier twist, swap out half of the mayo for Greek yogurt.
Garnish with fresh dill or a sprinkle of paprika for an extra pop of color.
