📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, and orange juice.

2. Gently fold in the lump crab meat, ensuring it is evenly coated with the citrus juices. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes to let the flavors combine.

3. Meanwhile, finely dice the red onion, Roma tomato, cucumber, and jalapeño pepper. Chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.

4. Remove the crab from the refrigerator and add the diced red onion, tomato, cucumber, and jalapeño to the bowl. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat.
