Ingredients

cup finely-diced yellow bell pepper

cup very thinly-sliced yellow onion

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon finely-chopped fresh parsley

teaspoon salt

8 ounces fresh refrigerated lump crabmeat picked over

Frisee (curly lettuce) sprigs (optional)

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except crab and frisee. Gently fold in crab to coat, trying to keep chunks intact.

Divide crab mixture into two oversized martini glasses or small clear dessert bowls, mounding mixture with a spoon. Insert a few small springs of frisee in each glass. Serve immediately or cover and chill up to 1 hour.

This recipe yields 2 servings.

Description: "The fresh lump crabmeat for this splurge of an appetizer delivers big sweet and succulent chunks in each bite. For an extra-special presentation, arrange this salad in large martini glasses."
