Wow! If I was served this salad in an upscale seafood restaurant, I would be perfectly happy! I used a Dungeness crab, and substituted orange bell pepper for the red, and skipped the avocado, as I don't care for it. The dressing was a perfect match for the delicate, sweet flavor of the crab; the dill and tarragon added a nice, herbal note without overpowering the crab itself. The peppers added a nice crunch, as well as a complimentary sweet flavor. This was easy enough to make for a Saturday lunch, yet elegant enough to serve at a dinner party. Thanks so much for sharing this one!
