West Indies Salad Recipes Needed

West Indies Crab salad?

Ingredients
1 lbs Lump crabmeat
2 small Jalapeños, minced
1/4 cup Tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup Red peppers, chopped
1/4 cup Red onions, chopped
1/4 cup Celery, chopped
3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
4 oz Lime juice (bottled)
4 oz Cider vinegar
4 oz Salad oil
4 oz Ice water
1 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp Kosher salt
1 tbsp Black pepper, ground up
Hot Sauce, to taste

Directions
Place onions, jalapenos, celery, red peppers, tomatoes and crabmeat into a mixing bowl. 

In a separate mixing bowl, add lime juice, vinegar, hot sauce, cilantro, salt and pepper, and whisk together while slowly adding the salad oil. Next, add in the strained ice water. Pour the mixture over the crabmeat and vegetables and mix well, but careful not to break up the crabmeat.

Dip can be served immediately, but for best results, cover and let sit in the fridge overnight

Yep, I think that's the one I'll use. First had it 32 years ago, made by some Mobile family on Mrs. O's side. Best I ever had. I expect their recipe was close to this.

Yes, the simple recipe is great. I use apple cider vinegar. Make it often in warm months. Delicious.

I've never heard of this before
sounds interesting

isn't this just crab ceviche?

WIS , proper, isn't a ceviche. I think his recipe is.... you could sub cardboard for crab in that recipe and save money, and it'd be good.

Try it. Then reply.

it's just oil and vinegar and water though?
I'm not doubting it's good but it doesn't sound like much

This mixture somehow goes with fresh crabmeat in a delicious way. Compliments it without overpowering it. Try a sweet onion instead of white or yellow. I prefer the sweet with it.

Makes a terrific salad plate.

similar, but the crabmeat is already fully steamed when you buy it
