Category: Salads - Seafood

1 lb jumbo lump crab meat, picked over for cartilage
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/4 cup sliced scallions (white and green parts)
Half a red bell pepper, chopped
2 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh mint
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a medium bowl, combine the crab, onion, scallions, tarragon, mint, and lemon zest.


In a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise and mustard. Add the mayo-mustard mixture to the crab and toss until the dressing evenly coats the salad.

Season with the salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
