- 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.

Very, very nice tasting crab salad! I pretty much followed the recipe, although I did cut back a little on the salt & then used lemon pepper in place of the usual pepper, & we really liked the crab & mango combo! Well worth making again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of Pick A Chef]
