This salad makes a good sized starter or a lovely light lunch, and is packed with flavour thanks to the combination of freshly chopped herbs. Use fresh crab meat if you can (although tinned will do just fine too!).
Ingredients (for 2 people)
- 300g white crab meat
- Handful of fresh chives, chopped
- Handful of fresh mint, finely chopped
- Handful of fresh basil, finely chopped
- Handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- Zest & juice of 1 lime
- Pinch of ground white pepper
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- Olive oil
- ¼ cucumber, very thinly sliced
Method
- Place all the ingredients (except the cucumber) into a bowl and mix gently with a fork.
- To serve, layer the crab mixture between 2 layers of the cucumber - use a cooking ring/mould if you want to go for a bit of swanky presentation.
- Finish with a chive or two on top of each stack and scatter chopped chives around for an even more impressive looking plate!
- Enjoy with a nice glass of chilled dry white wine. Or maybe two. Or...

Oh wow, that's easier than I thought.
We should talk. You are not supposed to post the same post More than one time ;)
It' just a repost! The original has been offline for months as the old photo was terrible quality, so I just updated it (not much better I know!).
