Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup minus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2/3 cup white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons water
1 1/2 pounds crab meat
2 small ripe tomatoes, cored and quartered
1 1/2 shallots, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 large clove garlic, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 fresh basil leaves

2 bunches of mache, about 2 cups, rinsed
1 1/2 mangoes, peeled and cut into -inch dice

Steps:

  • To make the crisps, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and cumin seeds. Add the vinegar, butter and water and mix thoroughly, but do not overmix.
  • Working in batches and using a pastry brush, dab very thin 2-inch discs of batter onto a nonstick baking sheet. Bake until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
  • To make the crab salad, break up the lumps with your fingers, removing any shell or cartilage but leaving the crab as intact as possible. Refrigerate. In a blender, combine the tomatoes, shallots, garlic, lemon juice, oil, vinegar and basil and blend until smooth. Season to taste.
  • Slowly stir the tomato sauce into the crab meat. Coat the crab, but do not soak it. Place 3 scoops of crab salad on each of 6 plates. Place a cumin crisp between each scoop. Garnish with the mache and the mangoes.

FRESH TOMATO AND CRAB SALAD



Fresh Tomato and Crab Salad image

As stated on the Whole Foods website, "Serve this salad by itself, on a bed of greens or roll it up in wraps for an easy and refreshing summer meal. Heirloom tomatoes come in a rainbow of colors. In the summer, green, striped, yellow, orange and purple tomatoes can be purchased at the market. If available, choose three different colors to make this a gorgeous summer harvest salad. The dill sour cream in this recipe also pairs well with fresh vegetables." This recipe is low calorie, low fat and gluten-free. NOTE: After making this fabulous salad, I recommend a light sprinkle of Old Bay Seasoning atop the salad right before serving. . .makes it pretty and tastes great too!
