- For the best flavor, use fresh jumbo lump crab meat. If you can't find it, you can substitute canned or frozen crab meat.
- Be sure to roast the red peppers until they are slightly charred. This will give the sauce a smoky flavor.
- If you don't have roasted red peppers, you can use jarred roasted red peppers. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
- To make the cilantro oil, simply blend cilantro, olive oil, and garlic in a food processor until smooth.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
