Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon grapeseed oil
1 red onion, diced small
2 cloves garlic, lightly crushed with the side of a knife blade, then minced
2 plum tomatoes, seeds removed and cut brunoise
1 blood orange, segmented and diced
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 (1 1/2 to 2-pound) Dungeness crabs, meat removed from claws and body (equates to about 1 pound of crabmeat)
1/2 cup pea tendrils

Steps:

  • To make the orange dressing: Heat the grapeseed oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and garlic and allow to sweat for about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in tomatoes, orange and chives and cook for an additional 2 minutes over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in fresh mint leaves. Set aside until needed.
  • For the crab salad: Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce and mayonnaise in a medium mixing bowl. Gently fold in crabmeat. Using a 2 or 3-inch circle cutter, form crabmeat into rounds. Top with orange dressing and 2 tablespoons pea tendrils. Serve chilled.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It was just as good, if not better.

This salad is best served chilled. I like to make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

I'm allergic to oranges, so I used a lemon vinaigrette instead of the orange dressing. It was still delicious.

I had some trouble finding sweet pea tendrils, but I used snow pea shoots instead and they worked just fine.

I'm not a huge fan of crab, but I loved this salad. The dressing is so good that it even made me enjoy the crab.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover crab. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

This crab salad is a refreshing and delicious summer dish. The sweet pea tendrils add a nice crunch and the orange dressing is a perfect complement to the crab.
