Directions: |
Directions:Combine all your ingredients and gently fold together. Add your mayonnaise slowly and use only enough to moisten all the crabmeat being careful not to add too much mayonnaise.
Using A long serving dish lay out your tomatoes slices pile the crab salad on top and garnish with additional mint leaves.
A note regarding the minced jalapeņos. If you mince the jalapeņos extremely small you will not have the burning experience that you would think. It just adds flavor not heat to the dish. Remember to deseed the jalapeņos. The seeds have no flavor and way too much heat.
If you choose to use Cajun seasoning salt use it very sparsely. It can overpower the dish. The emphasis here is on the sweet crab meat not a lot of Cajun spice. |
