Method

Preparation of Salad Ingredients

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Vegetables

    Thoroughly wash the mixed salad greens under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.

    Chop Vegetables

    Halve the cherry tomatoes. Peel the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds. Slice the red onion into thin rings.

Crab Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare Crab Meat

    If using canned crab meat, drain it well and gently flake it with a fork. If using fresh crab meat, ensure it is clean and ready to use.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix Dressing Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Gently toss the ingredients together.

  2. 6

    Add Crab Meat

    Gently fold in the crab meat to the salad mixture, being careful not to break up the crab too much.

  3. 7

    Dress the Salad

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until all ingredients are coated with the dressing.

  4. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
