Ingredients for 2 servings
| 450g | Crab meat, tinned |
| 30g | Mayonnaise, light |
| 30g | Sour Cream or Creme Fraiche, reduced fat |
| 1 tsp | Dijon Mustard |
| 1 | Garlic clove, crushed |
| 30g | Parmesan cheese, freshly grated |
| 1 | Lemon, zest only |
| 1 | Sourdough bread, slice |
| 120g | Mixed salad leaves |
| Spray Olive oil | |
| Sea salt |
Method
- Drain the crab meat in a colander and leave it for a few minutes while you make your dressing.
- Take a bowl and add the mayonnaise, reduced fat sour cream, grated parmesan, crushed garlic, grated lemon zest and dijon mustard.
- Give all of the ingredients a thorough mix before adding the crab meat and stirring well to coat all of the crab meat with the dressing.
- Put a medium frying pan onto a medium heat before adding 2-4 sprays of the spray oil.
- Cut the bread into cubes and add them to the frying pan.
- It won’t take long to brown so don’t wander off!
- Brown the sides before taking the pan off the heat.
- Arrange the salad onto a plate. Add the dressed crab along with the toasted croutons.
- And there you have it!
Recipe Notes
- To make my cheese go further I like to use a micro plane grater.
- I like to use Parmigiano Reggiano as it has a fuller flavour.
- Crab meat is delicate so I like to cut the mayonnaise with the reduced fat sour cream to give a lighter dressing.
