About
Lark
Dungeness crab is one of the distinctive seafoods available on the Pacific Coast, ranging from central California to Alaska. This salad is crisp, cool, creamy, and succulent—perfect as a light but memorable meal. This is an earth-meets-ocean combination that I played around with while at the restaurant of the same name. The combination of mild celery and the tart, lightly sweet apple play very nicely with the crab.

While whisking, slowly drizzle in the canola oil until it’s emulsified and fully incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
