Salad Cake Ingredients

Method

Salad Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crab Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked crab meat, chopped Pepiton, and arugula.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add mayonnaise, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, and minced garlic to the crab mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Dry Ingredients

    Fold in breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the mixture holds together but do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

  5. 5

    Form the Cakes

    Once chilled, scoop the mixture into patties (about 1/2 cup each) and shape them into cakes.

  6. 6

    Cook the Salad Cakes

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook the crab salad cakes for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
