FFwD: Crab & Grapefruit Salad

Crab & Grapefruit Salad

Well, okay, in all honesty I wasn’t super-super-crazy about this French Fridays with Dorie recipe. Although, I think that has more to do with the fact that I maybe had some less-than-super-flavorful crab meat than anything having to do with the recipe. Oh well, it was still a pretty good & healthy weeknight meal (I did let my grapefruit wedges sit for only a minimal amount of time…because it was a weeknight).

Notes:
1. I halved the recipe.
2. I didn’t have any mint…I threw a little fresh chopped tarragon in there and also had some spinach leaves on the side.
3. I really love ruby grapefruit!
4. March was a really good posting month for me! Lots of recipes & posts. Yay me.

Here’s a link to everyone’s posts and my photos below.

  1. Cher: Thanks! I just wasn’t wowed. But, your avocado inclusion to the salad sounds so good! I wish I would have thought of that! πŸ™‚

  2. I added a little mayo and sriracha to punch up the texture and flavor. I still love this was easy to pull off. I barely dried my grapefruit segments – I’m not sure if that contributed to them falling apart while tossing the salad.

  3. lookin’ good! I almost thought you made a TON of the stuff when I realized it was put next to the picture from the book! LOL!

  4. You are so right that this is a nice weeknight meal. And I love how it looked served in a glass. Very elegant all around, yet good for you.

  5. Alice: Haha, nope just the half recipe! πŸ™‚
    Gracie: Thanks!
    Betsy: It was very elegant looking..I was just too lazy to find a suitable glass πŸ˜‰
    kathleen: Yep, pretty much all did too! Thank you πŸ™‚

  6. Even though you didn’t love it, it looks appetizing! You can also substitute basil for mint -they are in the same family. I’m doing catch up this week and will make it one night. March does look like a great posting month for you – and I barely posted due to work. Posting envy on my part!
