CRAB SALAD FOR A QUEEN

This brunch dish is a imitation crab and melon salad derived from a special chicken salad. That salad was created for especially for Queen Elisabeth's coronation back in 1953. For our treat, instead of mayonnaise, is a blend of orange and coconut flavored Greek style yogurt. It is served “Vol au Vent”. That's French for “in a puff pastry”! 
 
Low fat Crab, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, yogurt with some nuts and a few grapes, what a brunch treat! 
 
Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg imitation crab meat pieces
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 1 cup honeydew melon
  • 1 cup cantaloupe
  • 5oz Greek style yogurt with orange
  • 5oz Greek style yogurt with coconut
  • 1 tbs mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup walnuts
  • Old Bay Seasonings
  • salt and pepper to taste 
     

Directions:
Follow package directions for the puff pastry shells:

pre heat oven to 400 degrees
While that bakes, cut up the melons.


Chop the onion



In a large bowl, gently toss the crab meat, melon, grapes, onion, and eggs.
 

In a medium sized bowl mix half a 5 oz container of orange flavored yogurt with half a 5 oz container of coconut flavored yogurt. Stir in 1 tbs of mayonnaise and the old bay seasonings.
Gently fold the dressing into the salad.

Remove the “tops” of the puff pastry shells and over-fill with the salad.



What a wonderfully rich, yet modern take on this classic!


What a dish to put before my Master!
