West Indies Crab Salad

Soup and Salad

When Crabmeat is available, this is a great go-to salad that can serve as an entree.

Ingredients

2 pounds Jumbo Lump Crab
1 ½ cup Yellow Onion, small dice
½ cup Canola, cottonseed or peanut oil
½ cup Champagne vinegar
¼ cup Ice water
2 Tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp Kosher salt
½ tsp Black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

Gently fold all ingredients together and cover tightly. Refrigerate overnight before serving. Just before serving, toss the salad well to redistribute the dressing.

Serve with French Bread Croutons.

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.

Italian Cheesecake

If you are a fan of American-style cream cheese cheesecake, this might not be your dessert. Though if you like something lighter and less sweet, this is the dessert for you.
