Tropical Crab Salad w/ Citrus Vinaigrette

This is a nice light salad. No heavy salad dressing and very refreshing on the palate. One of my favorite salads to make.

Citurs Vinaigrette :
1/2 cup Chardonnay Vinegar
1/4 cup honey ( I used clover honey)
juice of half orange
zest of half an orange
pinch of salt
Whisk ingredients.
Cilantro Sauce (the drizzle on plate)(also good with the salad)
One large punch of cilantro
2 TB of the citrus vinaigrette you just made
1 TB of honey
Put in blender and puree.
Put in squeeze bottle to make drizzling easier.
The Salad Ingredients :
1-2 cups crab, pieces
1 avocado, cut in half, sliced thin
1 cup mango diced small
1 cup papaya diced small
bunch spicy sprouts (Alfalfa or other)
-Mix the mango and papaya with about 2 TB of the vinaigrette, you can made this ahead and chill it.
- Drizzle Cilantro dressing on plate.


-I use a tin can to mold this salad. Put can on flat surface, first layer crab, 1" thickness, press down slightly. Then layer slices of the avacado, the add 3-4 Tb of the mango/papaya. Press slighly down woth spoon. Slide flat spatula under the can with the mixture. ( you don't need a spatula if you've done it many times before) Transfer over to the plate with the cilantro - quickly slide spatula away and lift can.
Top salad with sprouts.


Enjoy Every Bite.
