Key Lime Mango Crab Cake Salad

Summer fruits are hands-down THE BEST! Say what you will about autumn’s apples and pears (and no – pumpkin is not a fruit). Yes, citrus is glorious in the winter because it’s the only bright spot of sunshine that has a hope of peaking through a gray February day. Rhubarb is a tell-tale herald of spring in a novelty-fruit-kind-of-way. But summer wins with stone fruits like plums, nectarines, cherries and peaches, melons of all variety, berries so deep-red, sweet and juicy, you need to eat them with a bib. And mangoes. Always mangoes. So perfumed, so honey-sweet and so versatile. Like in this Key Lime Mango Crab Cake Salad. A summery salad with bites of mango, heavenly crab cakes, and tangy dressing!

Ingredients :
  • 4 Large crab cakes
  • 1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. Lime zest
  • 1 tbsp. Key lime juice
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp. Cilantro, freshly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
  • 5 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. Key lime juice
  • 1 tsp. Pommery mustard whole grain
  • 1 clove Garlic minced
  • 3 Radishes
  • 2 Large mangoes
  • 1/2 Cucumber
  • 1 Red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1/2 Small red onion finely diced
  • 12 oz. Baby arugula
Directions :
  1. In a large bowl combine the arugula, red onion, bell pepper, mango and radishes. Toss to combine and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, key lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and cilantro. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl combine the mayonnaise, garlic, key lime juice, lime zest, salt, pepper. Stir until well combined.
  4. Add dressing a few tablespoons at a time to the greens and toss until salad is lightly coated. -- You may not need all the dressing and if you have leftovers just cover and refrigerate for another salad.
  5. Divide the salad among four plates. Top each with a hot crab cake and a dollop of the Key Lime Aioli. Serve.
