Dungeness Crab over Sucrine With Champagne Vinaigrette for 2
- 4 cups little gem lettuce, washed well and spun dried (aka sucrine) or 4 cups butter lettuce or 4 cups romaine lettuce, washed well and spun dried
- half pink grapefruit, peeled, pith removed and cut into segments
- 2 -3 large red radishes, trimmed, cleaned and thinly sliced
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (green and white parts)
- 1 cup fresh dungeness crabmeat
- 1 small avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
- cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons champagne (the restaurant used the former) or 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar (the restaurant used the former)
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil or 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh grapefruit juice (I added a "splash") (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- cracked black pepper
- Vinaigrette: Whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together and set aside.
- Tastes best if prepared at least 1 hour in advance to allow mixture to marinate.
- Salad: In a salad bowl, toss the lettuce together gently with the grapefruit, radishes and scallions.
- Divide and arrange the mixture on two chilled salad plates.
- Add the crab meat; garnish with the avocado slices.
- Immediately drizzle each serving lightly with the vinaigrette (this helps stop the avocado slices from turning brown, too).
- Serve with crusty French bread and a glass of wine.
- Reminder: I had to estimate all ingredient amounts in this recipe.
- Thank you for your understanding.
