Russian Style Crab Salad

1 pound Crab Meat

1 pound Small Baby Potatoes

4 Hard Boiled Eggs

8 small Dill Pickles

1/2 pound Peas, defrosted

1/2 cup Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped

1/2 cup Green Onion, chopped

1 Jalapeno, seeded and chopped

2 Garlic Cloves, chopped

2 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

2 tablespoons Champagne Vinaigrette

Juice of one Lemon

1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Salt, Pepper to taste

Boil potatoes so they are fork tender, cut in half, season with salt and pepper, and brush with some olive oil.
Pre- heat grill and cook potatoes for 4-5 minutes. Remove off the grill and cut potatoes into bite size pieces.

Dice hard boiled eggs and pickles into small pieces. Add to potatoes, as well as crab meat, peas, parsley, green onion, jalapeno, and garlic.

To make dressing: in a small bowl add Dijon mustard, champagne vinaigrette, juice of a lemon, salt, and pepper. Whisk olive oil with the rest of the ingredients until it all combines together.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss all together. Season with salt and pepper.

Serves 8-10

*Can be made 4-5 hours ahead.

*This is a traditional Russian salad that I put my own twist on, by grilling potatoes and making mustard-champagne vinaigrette, instead of mayo. To make it easier on yourself, feel free to eliminate the grilling of the potatoes.

You can find crab meat that comes in a can at Trader Joes or Costco.
