Female Appetite

Did a photoshoot for Female Appetite Magazine. Never heard of the magazine before but they were asking for a salad recipe that is “healthy”, so this is what i decided to do, a lump crab salad with avocado, tomatoes and corn. It’s a very simple dish and i used the avocado skin to hold the salad together.

What you need

.

Crab meat - not the one in the can ( there are some really good crab meat in a can from Indonesia but you cannot find it in M’sia because they send it out to US and Europe..WTF!) but fresh crab such as blue crab or any local crab.

.
Momotaro tomatoes or anything equivalent. I got mine from Cameron Highlands by a company call Grace Cup. Compared to a lot of local tomatoes, I think this momotaro tomatoes is the bomb. Just peel and deseed.

.

Sweetcorn- again the one from Cameron Highlands is the best. Cook it in milk and butter.

.

Avocado- mostly imported but the thing to make sure is that it’s not too hard or way ripen.

.

Toss all ingredients with lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper and you got yourself a salad.

.
*When you have the best of ingredients you really don’t have to do nothing much to a dish. Let the ingredients speak for itself.
