Crab Fruit Salad - cjs - 03-10-2010 This is such a refreshing salad - we just loved it. It's from MasterCook, and one word of warning, the recipe is wrong as it's written. Instead of calling out mayonaise in the ingredient list, it calls for 2 measurements of lemon juice. * Exported from MasterCook * Dungeness Crab Fruit Salad***** Serving Size : 5 1 Alaska dungeness crab (2 to 3 pounds) -- thawed if necessary (I had a can of Costco crab that I used a portion of) 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks 2 apples -- cut into chunks OR 2 pears 1 orange -- peeled, sliced and halved (I had one blood orange left from the Calif. farmers market) Lettuce HONEY DRESSING 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon lime juice zest from 1 lime (This wasn't called for, but it's a nice addition) 1 1/2 teaspoons honey 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger Lime or lemon wedges Lift off back shell of crab. Remove and discard viscera and gills. Rinse crab thoroughly under cool, running water. Break off legs; crack along edges. Cut into serving-sized pieces. Break body section into several pieces. Micro-cook or steam until thoroughly heated; cool. Remove meat from body. Combine crab meat from body with fruit. Arrange fruit mixture and cracked crab legs on lettuce-lined platter. Serve with Honey Dressing. Garnish with lime wedges. Honey Dressing: Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, honey and ginger. Source: "Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute" |
