I have learned to trust Dorie and her expertise. So I did and created her crab and grapefruit salad. Shop Rite had the lump crabmeat on sale, and wow, that was a lot of crab meat. So I added the whole orange pepper and was glad I did. I decided to bed the salad on a baby greens salad and this added more dimension to the salad. This would be a great salad for Easter brunch. We had it for dinner with steak and baked sweet potato. Son declared it tropical because of the grapefruit. I declared it a success since all enjoyed it. This is a wonderful, anytime salad. But there could be less expensive seafood to substitute for the crab. Like shrimp or imitation crab. Maybe even more flavorful than the lump crab? This is a keeper recipe.
How great that you found the crabmeat on sale! I've been feeling for those Doristas who have paid over 20 dollars for theirs. I'd love to do it again with shrimp.
ReplyDeleteThat is a delicious looking salad. I let Tricia do the honors this week because hubby and
ReplyDeleteI cannot eat the grapefruit. Her family really loved it, and from all that I have read, many
other people did also.
What a lovely looking salad! Love your idea of making this for Easter brunch…it would be so delicious!
ReplyDeleteScore on the sale! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteA sale on something you need is always a good thing :-)
ReplyDeleteA pound would definitely have been a lot of crap - we used a half pound and by the time all the vegetables were in it, thought that it made four generous servings.
Looks lovely/
I wish my sons would eat salad! And lucky you finding the crab on sale :) Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to find crabmeat on sale! Glad it worked out with all your family's eaters.
ReplyDeleteHow great that your whole family enjoyed this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a keeper recipe, Kathleen. I am glad it was also a success with your family. I like your idea of serving it on a bed of greens.
