Stacked Crab Avocado Salad Recipe
This spectacular crab salad recipe will make you famous in your circle. Each layer is separated by a crunchy layer of fried wonton wrappers. Each bite is full of savory tomatoes, spicy crab, crunchy wontons, and creamy avocado. The texture contrasts are amazing and make this salad super special. This is definitely a salad that no one will forget, so make sure every bite counts!
Despite its fancy look, this crab salad is very easy to make. You can find wasabi mayonnaise in most condiment aisles now, so mixing up the spicy dressing is a thing of the past. Just gently fold the crab into the seasoned mayonnaise and that layer is done. The rest is just dicing and stacking. How simple can it be? Always be sure to use the freshest ingredients possible to get the most out of them. Get vine ripened tomatoes if possible; nothing else has the same flavor. You want every bite of this delicious salad to be savored and remembered for your skills in the kitchen. No one has to know it was easy.
Serve this fabulous crab salad recipe as fancy appetizers at a formal meal. You will want to personally prepare each serving so they are just right. This is not a dish you can assemble ahead of time; you do not want to lose the crunch in the wontons. Luckily, everything can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. The wontons can be kept wrapped and crispy. Just do a quick assembly and your guests will be amazed.
Crunchy Crab Salad Tower
Ingredients -
10 ounces jumbo lump crab meat
⅓ cup wasabi mayonnaise
Juice from ½ lime
1 avocado, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 small tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Frisee lettuce for garnish
Fried wonton wrappers
Baby bok choy leaves for plating
Olive oil
Preparation:
Pick through the crab meat to remove any shell fragments.
Mix the crab meat with the wasabi mayonnaise gently to avoid breaking the crab pieces. Set aside.
Toss the diced avocado with lemon juice and set aside.
Mix the tomatoes with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Fry up as many wonton wrappers as you need: 6 per salad serving. Drain on paper towels to soak up excess oil.
On each plate, lay out baby bok choy leaves in a fan shape. Drizzle lightly with olive oil. Place two wonton wrappers on top.
Cover the wrappers with the crab mixture. Top with two more wonton wrappers.
Cover the wrappers with diced avocado. Top with two more wonton wrappers.
Cover the wrappers with diced tomatoes. Top with frisee lettuce for garnish.
