Notlar

I first sampled a variation of this crab salad as part of a luxurious dish served at restaurant Pic in Valence, where Anne‹Sophie Pic is following in the family's august culinary tradition. Fresh crab meat is such a delicacy and has so much flavor of its own that it is a shame to gild the lily. Serve this on a bed of lettuce or a layer of thinly sliced cucumbers.

Wine Suggestion: Do try this with an elegant white wine, one made from either the Viognier or Chardonnay grape. You
