Method

Crab Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, gently fold together the lump blue crab meat, finely chopped celery, red onion, parsley, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.

Lemon-Caper Remoulade Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix Remoulade

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped capers, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Fried Green Tomatoes Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with cornmeal.

  2. 4

    Bread and Fry Tomatoes

    Dip each sliced green tomato in flour, then into the egg wash, and finally coat with cornmeal. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded tomatoes until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, arrange a bed of frisée greens. Top with a generous scoop of the crab salad, place fried green tomatoes alongside, and add slices of avocado. Drizzle with tomato oil and finish with a dollop of lemon-caper remoulade.
