Tips:

For the freshest crab meat, buy live crabs and steam them yourself. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.
Be sure to remove all of the cartilage from the crab meat before adding it to the salad.
For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, and tarragon.
If you don't have any fresh asparagus, you can use canned or frozen asparagus instead.
To make a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the crab meat and add more vegetables, such as chopped celery and red bell pepper.
