INGREDIENTS:
1 cup pea shoots
1 cup diced Roma tomatoes
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1 cup diced red onion
1 cup diced mango
1 cup diced avocado
1 cup fresh crab meat
DIRECTIONS:
Assemble each of the four crab stacks by tightly layering together in a 3 inch mold one fourth of each of the pea shoots, tomatoes, cucumbers, mango, onions, avocado and crab. (If you don’t have a 3 inch mold, you can use any hollowed-out aluminum can with both top and bottom removed.
Step 1: Place a layer of pea shoots in the mold and then top with a layer of firmly packed tomatoes.
Step 2: Place a layer of sliced cucumbers atop the tomatoes, fanning them out to fill the circular mold.
Step 3: Layer the diced mango atop the cucumbers, pack firmly, then add the red onions.
Step 4: Add a layer of avocado, pushing it firmly into the mold.
Step 5: Add a layer of crab, then while pushing down on the crab with one hand, slowly slide the mold upward to reveal the layered Stacked Crab Salad.
Serve with Green Goddess dressing.
