The refrigerator light goes on...
This is a bright salad with the wonderful flavor of crab combined with sweet mango and the lovely herbaceous dill. A perfect spring dinner dish. Serve it with a whole wheat roll.
Crabmeat can be salty and you might want to hold the salt until you have mixed all the other ingredients. Often you won't need to add any extra salt, and this is great if you are on a sodium-restricted diet.
