Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Crab meat
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 Celery stalks
- 2 Spring onions
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Slice the baguette into thin rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the bread slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, finely chopped celery, sliced spring onions, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form a creamy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the crab mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the toasted bread slices on a serving platter.
Spoon the crab salad onto the bread slices, or serve the salad in a bowl with the bread on the side for scooping.
Garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
