  • Be sure to clean the crab meat thoroughly before using it. Remove any bits of shell or cartilage.
  • If you don't have sweet pea tendrils, you can use other tender greens, such as baby spinach or arugula.
  • The orange dressing is a great way to add a bright, citrusy flavor to the salad. If you don't have an orange, you can use another citrus fruit, such as a grapefruit or lemon.
  • Serve the salad immediately after it is made. This will prevent the crab meat from becoming tough.
