Time 10m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound lump crab meat, picked over for shells
3 hot green chilies, seeded and minced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 medium jicama, peeled and coarsely shredded
2 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely shredded
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups stemmed watercress

Steps:

  • Put the crab meat in a mixing bowl, add the chilies, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and lime juice and toss gently, being careful to break up the crab meat as little as possible.
  • In another bowl, toss together the jicama, carrots and lemon juice. (The salad can be prepared to this point up to an hour ahead.) Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the mint and the cilantro and toss to combine.
  • Divide the crab meat among 6 plates, mounding it in the center, and surround with the watercress. Scatter the jicama and carrots over the crab and serve immediately.
