Crab Salad in Crisp Wonton Cups
2007 Ellie Krieger, All rights reserved

Ingredients
For the Wonton Cups:
Cooking spray
18 wonton wrappers, thawed (if frozen)
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the dressing:
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil

For the salad:

1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1/2 cup finely diced mango
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 2 mini-muffin tins with cooking
spray.

Brush the wonton wrappers with oil, and place each wrapper into a section of a mini-muffin tin.
Gently press each wrapper into the tin and arrange so that it forms a cup shape. The wrapper will
overlap itself and stick up out of the cup. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until
browned and crisp. Remove from the tin and allow wrappers to cool.

Meanwhile whisk together the zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Add the oil and
whisk until well combined.

In a medium bowl, toss together the crabmeat, celery, mango, scallion and cilantro. Add dressing and
toss to combine. Fill each cup with the crab salad and serve.
