Crab Salad “sandwich” Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Calamansi Mayo

   In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the calamansi juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Shiitake Bacon

   Slice the shiitake mushrooms thinly. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add the mushrooms. Cook until they are crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

   Prepare Tomato Concassé

   Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. Peel the skin, remove seeds, and dice the flesh into small pieces.

   Assemble the Salad

   In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, crispy shiitake bacon, and half of the tomato concassé. Add a generous amount of calamansi mayo and mix gently.
