Method

Preparation of Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the grapefruit

    Carefully segment the pink grapefruit by cutting off the top and bottom. Stand the grapefruit upright and slice off the peel and pith. Cut between the membranes to release the segments and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the salad leaves

    Rinse the mixed salad leaves under cold water, then dry them using a salad spinner or pat them with a clean kitchen towel.

  3. 3

    Combine crab and chives

    In a bowl, gently mix the Dorset crab meat with the chopped fresh chives. Set aside.

Preparation of Brown Crab Mayonnaise

  1. 4

    Mix mayonnaise

    In a mixing bowl, combine the brown crab meat, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir until well combined and smooth.

Preparation of Sourdough Toast

  1. 5

    Toast the sourdough

    Drizzle olive oil over the slices of sourdough bread. Toast them in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate the salad

    On a serving plate, arrange the mixed salad leaves. Top with the crab mixture, grapefruit segments, and dollops of brown crab mayonnaise.

  2. 7

    Serve with toast

    Serve the crab salad with the toasted sourdough slices on the side.
