Too salty

Do yourself a favor... if you're going to go to all of the trouble to make this recipe, don't add the salt that is called for and ruin it like I did mine. Waaaaaay too much sodium. Disappointing. My 2 cents.
Awesome, easy appetizer

This one gets better as it sits. It's a wonderful compliment to champagne or a white wine.

A slight tweak for the vinegar-phobic

As far as I'm concerned, Alton is rarely, if ever, wrong when it comes to cooking and technique. Based on one previous reviewer, however, I modified my first attempt at this recipe to cut back on the vinegar. (Also left over from a bad Ceasar salad experience where I used too much red wine vinegar to make the dressing) As much as I hate to recommend changes to a recipe before I've tried the original, my result turned out well so I thought I'd share - If you still want to taste the fresh crab that you labored over, try cutting back the vinegar to 1/2 C total instead of a cup. Of that, use 3/8 C white wine vinegar and 1/8 C red wine vinegar. The result was a mild vinegar aftertatse with the fresh crab still stealing the show. I'd cut back on the salt, too, as it seemed a little salty. Try 1 tsp instead of 1 1/2 tsp. Happy cooking!
Too much vinegar!

I made this today for a luncheon and I would not make it again! There was way too much marinade and the crab tasted way too vinegary. I thought at first that the greens would diminish the amount of vinegar flavor, but unfortunately not. I had leftover crab and tried to drain much of the marinade off to see if that would help, but it was still way too strong. This was a waste of one pound of crabmeat.
wow!

This was delicious. Everyone really liked the tarragon. It is so nice to have a seafood salad without mayonnaise. I was surprised at the amount of vinegar and olive oil. The remainder I will make into a salad dressing for other salads. The crab was swimming in the dressing. In the future I am thinking of reducing the dressing amount. Is there a reason for having so much dressing? I will make it again.
