Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Greek style yogurt or any good quality yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mustard of your choice
  • 1 heaping tablespoon honey

  • 4-5 big handfuls of spinach or mesclun salad greens
  • 1/2 pound best quality crabmeat
  • 1/4 cup red onions, finely sliced in half moons
  • 4 plum tomatoes, chopped (or use sundried tomatoes)

Directions

  1. 1
    Blend all ingredients together until smooth. I used my immersion blender to emulsify everything. While I did not add them here, a few anchovies of a teaspoon of miso paste would blended into the dressing would be tasty as well.
  2. 2
    Preheat your oven to 425F and toss the apples, honey, olive oil, and lemon juice in on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10 minutes, until apples get some color but are still firm. Set aside and try not to eat.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, mix the spinach, crabmeat, onions, and tomatoes together. Dress the salad with the amount of dressing you see fit.
  4. 4
    Adjust seasoning and add a bit of chopped parsley if you'd like (I forgot to add mine).
