Crab!

As both of my readers know, I love to cook and if I say so, am darned good at it when I put my mind to it.
While driving around on Saturday I was listening to a radio show called "dining around with Gene Burns". Gene was interviewing a chef who is taking part in the upcoming crab festival in SF. Mr. Chef said he made a crab and grapefruit salad and I thought, man, those two flavors would be great together.
I did a brief google search and found a recipe - I have modified it a bit, but we both declared it thumbs up. Here it is:
Mince 2 tsp. shallots
add 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
let sit for 30 minutes

meanwhile - clean some crab. I got one Alaskan crab leg, which was perfect, as I thought chunks would be better than the fine textured crab meat. Clean the crab and cut into chunks.

Clean one ruby red grapefruit. Remove peel, all membranes and chop coarsely.

Prepare a bed of greens on each plate (this is for two). Add the crab, grapefruit and one chopped avocado divided between the plates.

Add 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil to the shallot stuff and whisk.

Pour the dressing over the salad and add toasted chopped almonds on top. I didn't do this last night, but think it'll be very good, as I like a little crunch with my salad.

Hope you enjoy!
