Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb white crab meat
8 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 dash lemon juice (1 squeeze)
1 teaspoon tarragon, finely chopped
2 scallions, chopped
2 little gem lettuce

Steps:

  • Pick over the crabmeat and discard any bits of shell.
  • Mix the mayonnaise with the ketchup, Tabasco, mustard, lemon juice, and tarragon.
  • Stir in the crab and spring onions. Taste and play around with the balance of flavourings until you get a perfect balance (but hold back - too much tasting will leave your guests with woefully diminished portions!).
  • This can be mixed together an hour or two before serving, but bring back to room temperature before assembling the finished cocktail and serving.
  • Remove the outer leaves of the Little Gem lettuces and shred the rest thinly. Place in a plastic bag and leave in the fridge until almost ready to serve.
  • Take 4-6 sundae glasses or old-fashioned champagne glasses. Divide the lettuce between the glasses and top with the crab cocktail. Serve straight away.

I used imitation crab meat in this salad and it turned out great. I couldn't tell the difference.
