Crabmeat Waldorf Salad


I am shamelessly ripping this off from Suburbia. But for a healthy spin, I'm using creme fraiche instead of mayonnaise and loading up on herbs for a fresh flavour.

Serves 2 as entrees, 4 as appetisers.

  • 2 cups cooked crab meat
  • 1 green apple, peeled and diced
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 heaped tablespoon creme fraiche (you can substitute with plain unsweetened yoghurt if you can't find creme fraiche)
  • 2 teaspoons chopped mixed Italian herb mix
  • 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
  • Juice and rind of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salad greens
  • Freshly ground black pepper and salt

Make the dressing for the leafy greens first with 1/2 the lemon juice, olive oil, 1 teaspoon herb mix, 1/2 teaspoon mustard, salt and pepper. Pour everything into a jar with a lid and shake till emulsified.

Next, place the creme fraiche, lemon juice and rind, herbs, remaining mustard, pepper and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add the crabmeat, walnuts and apple into the dressing and mix well.


Toss the salad greens with the dressing and place a portion on a plate. Spoon a mound of the crab mixture over and sprinkle some walnuts to finish off.
