Ingredients:
- 910g fresh spinach, well washed, dried and stemmed
- 24 (purchased) cooked crab claws
- 450g fior de latte (fresh mozzarella balls)
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (I use Fallot)
- juice of half a lemon
- 6 tablespoons top-quality, fruity extra-virgin olive oil.
- 1 basket grape tomatoes for garnish
- a few tarragon sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
- Separate the spinach evenly onto 6 plates or bowls meant for serving salads. Proceed by cracking the crab claws and arranging 4 pieces on each salad, then add 4 to 5 halved mozzarella balls.
- Mix the mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl. Slowly pour in the olive oil while mixing continuously to create a dressing. Pour a portion of this dressing over each salad. Decorate with grape tomatoes and tarragon sprigs.
- Suggestion for wine pairing: A young Chablis complements the rich crabmeat and mozzarella flavors in this salad perfectly.
