Easy salad with sweet saltwater crab

IT'S near the end of the crab season. If you haven't gotten to the lakes for the hairy crab, you can pick up some very sweet saltwater crab at your local wet market.

We want to make a refreshing salad with a bit of Asian flavor but not too overpowering. The sweet crab meat is the star of the dish.

This recipe is easy, tasty and healthy. Anyone can make it and not mess it up. This is for one serving. Double the recipe for two plates. Happy cooking!
