Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk the egg yolk in a bowl until thick and sticky. Whisk in the mustard and lemon juice. A few drops at a time, add the safflower and olive oils (you may increase the amount as the emulsion forms).

  2. Step 2

    When you have a thick mayonnaise add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the crab meat into this mixture and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange the lettuce leaves on individual plates and spoon some of the crab meat in the middle. Decorate with avocado slices, baby tomatoes and tarragon leaves.
