Crab Salad with grapefruit, avocado and fresh herbs. What a wonderful salad. During the cold winter months, fresh crab is at its best. Fresh cooked crabmeat is available in many fish markets and specialty-food stores. Enjoy this salad.

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tablespoon Mustard Seeds
  • 1/4 cup White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/3 cup Canola Oil
  • Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • 2 heads Bibb Lettuce, torn into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 oz. Fresh-Cooked Crabmeat, chilled and picked over to remove any shell fragments
  • 1 tablespoons fresh Flat-leaf Parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Chives, chopped
  • 1 large Grapefruit, peeled and segmented
  • 1 Avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced

    Making The Salad:

    1. In a small non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, lightly toast the mustard seeds, stirring often, until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the vinegar and let cool for about 5 minutes.

    2. Transfer the mustard seeds and vinegar to a small bowl, and whisk in the Dijon mustard and honey until blended. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and then the canola oil. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

    3. In a large salad bowl, toss the lettuce with half of the vinaigrette and divide among 4 chilled salad plates or bowls. In a small mixing bowl, toss the crabmeat, parsley and chives with 3 tablespoons of the remaining vinaigrette until well blended, and season with salt and pepper. Divide the crabmeat among the salads and garnish each with grapefruit and avocado. If desired, drizzle salads with any remaining vinaigrette.
