West Indies Salad

You may noticed in some of my other recipes I’m a vinegar nut. I love the taste of it! Here’s a favorite crab salad that I learned to make way back in my teenage years when I worked at a local seafood restaurant.

This is a great side dish to a seafood type meal. Typically, a serving portion is SMALL - about 1 heaping tablespoon per person.

West Indies Salad

Ingredients

1 can (6.5oz) lump crab meat
1/4 Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4 Vegetable Oil
1/4 finely diced onion

Procedure

Make sure to use lump crab. Cheaper crab meat is not as good for this!

Drain the crab meat. In a medium sized Tupperware bowl (one with a lid), add the oil and vinegar and whisk until blended. Add onion and crab and mix thoroughly. Seal the bowl tightly and allow this to rest in the fridge overnight before serving. Stir well prior to serving.


Notes

While you can eat this immediately, it only gets better in flavor after it has rested overnight.
 
Apple cider vinegar sounds better than plain vinegar, I think I will take the jump and give this a try! LOL.
Thanks for posting it!

Apple Cider vinegar is THE BOMB!!!! :yum:

Other vinegars are great too. I love a good salad with nothing more than Balsamic Vinegar drizzled all over it. Yum!

Just remember this recipe is a SMALL side. A little goes a long way on a well stacked plate.
 
Had snow crab legs last night and there were leftovers. So I shelled all the meat and made West Indies Salad out of it.

This sounds wonderful, Keltin. I'd like to try it with rice wine vinegar. Can you clarify - is it 1/4 cup of oil?
