Name: West Indies Crab Salad Recipe
Total time: 15 min
Ingredients: 2 pounds fresh jumbo lump crabmeat, drained and picked over; 2/3 cup rice vinegar; 1/2 cup finely chopped white onion (from 1 small onion); 1/4 cup granulated sugar; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from 2 lemons); 2 teaspoons kosher salt; 1 teaspoons black pepper; 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint; 6 Bibb lettuce leaves (from 1 head)

If you&rsquo;re looking for a way to showcase extremely fresh crab that doesn&rsquo;t require much fuss, this little-known Southern salad (it is believed to have originated in Mobile, Alabama) is the way to go. The simple vinaigrette enhances the crab&rsquo;s subtle sweetness. When working with lump crab, it&rsquo;s important to remove any stray bits of shell. Spread the crabmeat on a baking sheet and place it under the broiler for 45 seconds. The meat will barely get warm, but the shells will turn bright orange, so you can pick them out more easily.
