Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 -2 stalk fresh lemongrass (each 10 to 12 in. long) or 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel (yellow part only)
12 kaffir lime leaves, sections (each 1 1/2 to 2 in. long) or 1 tablespoon lime zest (green part only)
1/3 lb shelled cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup thinly slivered shallot
1 tablespoon finely shredded carrot
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons thai chili paste (purchased or homemade)
1 teaspoon asian fish sauce or 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
8 ounces English cucumbers

Steps:

  • Rinse lemon grass. Cut off and discard tough tops and root ends; peel off and discard tough outer green layers of stalks down to tender white parts. Finely chop enough to make 1/4 cup.
  • Rinse kaffir lime leaves. Stack three or four leaves at a time and cut crosswise into very fine shreds.
  • In a bowl, mix lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, crab, shallots, carrot, cilantro, mint, and green onion.
  • In a small bowl, mix lime juice, chili paste, fish sauce (but not salt, if using), and sugar.
  • Just before serving, stir lime-juice mixture into crab mixture. If not using fish sauce, add salt to taste.
  • Rinse cucumber and cut crosswise into about 24 rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Top each slice with a scant tablespoon crab mixture.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt in this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover crab meat. I had some crab legs that I didn't finish, and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my crab salad turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

The crab salad was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less salt or omit it altogether.

The crab salad was delicious, but I found that the cucumber rounds were a bit too bland. Next time, I'll try using a different type of cracker or bread.
