SIMPLY THE BEST CRAB SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Combine the garlic, shallot, tomato, basil, oil and vinegar in a blender and puree.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• You can make this dressing 2 to 3 days in advance.
• Add enough of the dressing to the crab to moisten it (you will probably not need all of it: use the rest within a day or two as a salad dressing.
• Taste and correct seasoning, if necessary. (You may prepare the recipe in advance up to this point; refrigerate in a covered container for up to 1 day.).
• Serve the crab with the mango on top.
• See above (recipe description) for other serving suggestions.

CRAB SALAD

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl, taking care not to break up the crab meat too much. Refrigerate until serving time.
• If you wanted to make this easier, you could use canned crab meat, roasted red bell pepper from a jar, etc.
• I usually remove the seeds from any hot pepper I'm using, as that is where the heat really lies, and I don't want it too hot for my kiddos.
• Cook time is chill time. I had to estimate on prep time because it depends on if you roast your own peppers or not.
