Crab vinaigrette
Chefs often regard crab meat as a two-in-one ingredient. While white meat contains a light and sweet flavour the brown meat is often richer in taste meaning it can be used as a mix and on its own due to its unique flavour. Why not give the following Crab vinaigrette recipe a try in your kitchen? Nice use of the brown meat from a crab, obviously goes well with salads of the white meat, or cured salmon etc.
