Ingredients
- 1 lb lump crab meat
- 1 avocado cubed
- 1 c bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 c cucumbers finely diced
- 1 medium red potato
- 2 tablespoon chives
- 1 head Butterhead (Boston) lettuce or Romaine lettuce
Tartar Sauce
- 1 c mayo
- 2 tablespoon pickled cucumbers finely minced
- 1 teaspoon capers
- ½ teaspoon mustard yellow or Dijon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoon chives
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
To make Tartar Sauce
- In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients for the sauce and mix everything nicely. Place the sauce in a fridge while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
To make Crab Salad
- Start off by removing any bits of shell or sand from the crab meat. This step is optional, but I really recommend you do it. (The last thing you want is to have pieces of crab shell stuck between your teeth.)To do it, lay out the Crab meat on a large plate or baking sheet and gently feel the crab meat with your fingers. Discard any shells or pieces of sand.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add potato and cook on a medium heat until tender and fully cooked, about 15-20 minutes.
- In a large bowl combine Crab meat, cubed avocado, chopped red bell pepper, diced cucumbers, diced potato and chives. Pour about a half of Tartar sauce over the salad and mix it well. If the mixture is too dry, add more sauce. Refrigerate the leftovers of Tartar sauce in the airtight container.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoon of the Crab Salad into the center of each lettuce leaf. Serve immediately as an appetizer or main dish.
