Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 1/2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons grated lime zest
1 1/2 teaspoons peeled grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons peanut oil
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 lb asparagus, tough bottoms snapped off
3/4 lb fresh cooked crabmeat, picked over for bits of shell and cartilage
2 heads bibb lettuce, leaves separated, washed, and dried
2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and peeled
1 red grapefruit, peeled and cut into segments

Steps:

  • Make the vinaigrette: whisk together the lime juice, vinegar, lime zest, ginger, and honey in a bowl; whisk in the oils.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook asparagus until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • As soon as the asparagus are tender, scoop them out of the boiling water and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water.
  • When the asparagus are cold, drain and toss them with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette; set aside.
  • Toss the crabmeat with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette; set aside.
  • In a big bowl, toss the Bibb lettuce leaves with 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.
  • Plate the salad: divide the dressed Bibb lettuce leaves among 4 large chilled plates.
  • Place an avocado half on top of the lettuce on each plate and drizzle the avocado with a little vinaigrette.
  • Arrange a bundle of dressed asparagus next to the avocado half; divide the dressed crabmeat among the plates, draping it over the avocado and asparagus.
  • Garnish with the grapefruit sections and serve.
  • Serving suggestions: because the texture of this salad is soft, serve with crisp crackers or toasted bruschetta; also good beverage choice would be a Mimosa-orange juice and champagne.

2 tablespoons yuzu juice available at Japanese markets, fresh Meyer lemon juice or fresh lime juice, more to taste

Steps:

  • At least 1 day before serving, make stock: Melt butter in a pot over medium-high heat.

Asparagus, crab, and orange salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover crab meat. With its vibrant colors and variety of textures, this salad is sure to impress your guests.
