Lemony Crab Salad With Baby Greens
"This delicious Venetian salad is from the May 2005 issue of Bon Appétit. In Venice, it would most likely be made with local crab from the lagoon. Simplicity is the essence of this recipe: make it with only the very best quality ingredients."

What an easy delicious salad -- I had and keep everything but the crab on hand -- so this is a great easy "company is coming dish". We did not eat it over the greens -- we enjoyed on buttery whole wheat crackers and it was delicious! Thanks! [made for potluck tag] -
What a Treat eating this Clean, Light, Refreshing & Very Easy Salad! I did grate some onion into it. As to put the juice not chunks of onion. Thanks! -
I was looking for a recipe that would allow the lovely fresh taste of the crab to come through, this was perfect! Crab is expensive around here so we wanted to be sure there would be nothing to take away from it. We don't have it very often but when we do this will be the recipe I use. Simple, fresh and lovely, thanks for sharing the taste of real crab, a wonderful taste!! -
this was so light and tasty as a first course. i served this over arugula, grated fresh pepper and sea salt over all, and garnished with lemon wedges, delicious.

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
