Now chop your celery, green onions, dill and red peppers into small pieces and set aside.
Once your potatoes are completely cooled down, add them to a large bowl. And then place all your ingredients from bowl 1 into the large bowl and combine till your potatoes are coated.
Then add in your “flaked” imitation crab or "snow crab meat" and your remaining ingredients and mix till combined.
Squeeze in the juice of one lemon, “make sure the seeds don’t fall into the salad”.
Garnish with green onions and chill in the fridge 1 hour before serving.
