Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh lump crab meat
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 medium celery stalk
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 large radicchio leaves
Directions
Step 1
Start by draining the crab meat if necessary, and then gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the crab meat into a medium-sized mixing bowl and lightly flake it with a fork.
Step 2
Finely chop the celery stalk. Add the chopped celery to the crab meat.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chives to the bowl with the crab mixture.
Step 4
Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Carefully fold the ingredients together using a spatula, ensuring the crab meat remains chunky.
Step 5
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Step 6
Prepare the lettuce cups by rinsing and drying the romaine lettuce leaves and radicchio leaves. Use one leaf of each type per serving for a sturdy and flavorful base.
Step 7
Divide the crab mixture equally among the prepared lettuce cups, mounding it in the center of each cup.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill briefly in the refrigerator if you prefer a colder salad.
