Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh lump crab meat
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 medium celery stalk
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 large radicchio leaves
Instructions
Start by draining the crab meat if necessary, and then gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the crab meat into a medium-sized mixing bowl and lightly flake it with a fork.
Finely chop the celery stalk. Add the chopped celery to the crab meat.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chives to the bowl with the crab mixture.
Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Carefully fold the ingredients together using a spatula, ensuring the crab meat remains chunky.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Prepare the lettuce cups by rinsing and drying the romaine lettuce leaves and radicchio leaves. Use one leaf of each type per serving for a sturdy and flavorful base.
Divide the crab mixture equally among the prepared lettuce cups, mounding it in the center of each cup.
Serve immediately or chill briefly in the refrigerator if you prefer a colder salad.
