I bought two large crabs the other day. Way more than our little family could eat on our own. Luckily the leftover meat gave me the opportunity to make one of our favorite crab dishes. This salad is great as a salad, as a ceviche with chips or on its own.
To start you will need the following: Dungeness crab, jalapenos, red onion, garlic, tomato, cilantro, olive oil, salt, pepper, avocados and fresh lime juice.
Place the shelled Dungeness crab in a large glass bowl.
Seed and mince the jalapenos. If you want a little heat to the dish leave some of the seeds and membranes in.
Add the jalapenos into the bowl with the crab along with all of the other chopped ingredients.
Toss with oil, salt pepper, and lime juice.
Doesn't that look yummy? Scoop onto a large lettuce leaf or eat it straight out of the bowl!
