I was going to buy store bought seafood salad for dinner but they were out. So, I improvised by getting imitation crabmeat and using a small package of lobster meat from my freezer. My husband loves cucumber but doesn't like celery. By mixing the two together in equal amounts he didn't notice the cucumber. Turned out delightfully well.
