Introduction

The saltiness of the bacon, the sweetness of the imitation crab meat, and crunch of the finely chopped veggies balance nicely in this summer side dish. Makes enough for a small army, so plan accordingly.

Ingredients

    1 lb. small pasta (tubetti), cooked to package directions
    4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
    4 eggs, hard boiled and chopped
    1 cup of imitation crab meat, coarsely chopped
    1 cup of celery, diced fine
    1/2 cup of sweet onion, diced fine
    1/4 cup of chives, diced fine
    salt and pepper
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1/2 cup mayonnaise

Directions

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Add all of the other ingredients. Mix well.

I prefer to go scant on the mayonnaise if the pasta is still warm, otherwise it just melts and disappears. I add more later when it has had a chance to cool down, and the flavors have started to come together.

I portion it by the 1/2 cup.
