Salad with natural crab meat
Description
A simple dish to prepare. Crab meat pairs wonderfully with vegetables, fresh herbs, and light dressings. To avoid overpowering its delicate flavor, I recommend making homemade mayonnaise specifically for this salad—it's quite easy. Alternatively, you can dress the salad with balsamic cream or simply with olive oil. Serve chilled.
