Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Lump crab meat (fresh or canned, drained well)
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 10 grams Dijon mustard
- 50 grams Celery (finely diced)
- 30 grams Red onion (finely chopped)
- 10 grams Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 15 milliliters Lemon juice
- 2 grams Salt
- 1 gram Black pepper
- 4 units Croissants
- 4 leaves Butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, celery, red onion, and fresh parsley until well combined. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings with salt or pepper as needed.
Slice each croissant horizontally, but do not cut all the way through to keep the halves attached.
Place one butter lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each croissant.
Spoon an equal portion of the crab salad onto the lettuce in each croissant.
Close the croissant gently and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with a side of potato chips or a light salad for a complete meal.
