Scale

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes until al dente.
Chop the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumbers, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Once the pasta is cooked and drained, let it cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta, crab meat, vegetables, and the dressing. Toss gently.
