CRAB SALAD IN ENDIVE LEAVES

I saw the lovely Giada de La make this on The Food Network last week, and HAD to do this for guests for lunch. Followed the recipe as written, except - as a Chesapeake Bay seafood lover, HAD to add a sprinkle of Phillips Seafood Seasoning. (NOT Old Bay --too salty!) Served with Recipe #137331 - Greek-Style Oven-Baked Lemon Parmesan Potatoes, by Kittencal. All were suitably impressed! Super simple, too !

CRAB SALAD ON ENDIVE APPETIZER



Crab Salad on Endive Appetizer image

These light and fresh bites don't require a fork and are easy to pick up and carry at a cocktail or dinner party and can be made a day or two in advance. Or reduce the recipe size for an endulgent lunch for yourself! Endive is a flavorful member of the lettuce family that serves as a natural and edible bowl for the crab salad. Look for small heads of endive with no wilting leaves and a bright color. The original recipe called for heavy cream, but that has been replaced with evaporated milk with the same results and less calories and fat. Silk tofu works as well, too, for added protein.

Celery Root, Endive, Avocado And Blue Crab Salad image

Provided by Amanda Hesser

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons minced shallots
Juice of 2 Meyer lemons, plus extra if desired
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 large Granny Smith apple
1 large celery root, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch matchsticks
1 large Belgian endive, cut in half lengthwise, then sliced thinly diagonally
12 ounces blue crab meat
2 tablespoons chives, in 1-inch lengths
2 tablespoons roughly chopped celery leaves
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley
1 large ripe avocado

Steps:

  • Prepare dressing: In a medium bowl, combine shallots, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then gradually whisk in the vegetable oil and olive oil. Add the heavy cream and cayenne pepper, stirring to blend. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Peel and core the apple, and cut into 1/8-inch matchsticks. Place in a large mixing bowl with the celery root, endive and 10 ounces of the crab. Add about half of the dressing, and toss to coat; add more dressing, if desired. Add the chives, 1 tablespoon of the celery leaves and all but 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Add additional lemon juice and salt and pepper as desired, to taste.
  • To serve, peel avocado and slice into thin wedges. Place in a medium bowl, and toss with just enough olive oil to coat the wedges. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the avocado among six plates. Divide the celery root mixture among plates, placing it on top of the avocado but allowing some of the avocado to show at one side. In a small bowl, combine the remaining crab meat, parsley and celery leaves. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the dressing, and toss to combine; reserve the remaining dressing for another use. Place a spoonful of crab mixture on top of each salad as garnish. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your crab salad is packed with flavor.
  • Use a variety of crabmeat. Combining different types of crabmeat, such as lump crabmeat, claw meat, and flaked crabmeat, will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the crabmeat. Crabmeat is delicate and can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the salad. Overmixing can break up the crabmeat and make the salad mushy.
  • Serve the salad immediately. Crab salad is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Crab salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover crabmeat. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a crab salad recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy seafood dish, give crab salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
