Ingredients
-
6 small cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
-
12 ounces crab meat
-
1 ripe mango, peeled, halved lengthwise and cut into small dice
-
Freshly squeezed juice of 2 limes or 1 lemon
-
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted peanuts
-
Salt and freshly ground pepper
-
3 mint sprigs, leaves only
-
3 cilantro sprigs, leaves only
Directions
-
Cut each piece of cucumber in half on the diagonal. Using a melon baller or a small spoon, make a small cavity by scooping out and discarding the seeds from each cucumber piece. Cover the cucumbers with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
-
Combine the crab, mango, lime juice, oil and half of the peanuts in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Season each cucumber cone with salt and pepper. Fill each cone with the crab-mango salad. (Cover and refrigerate until needed, if not serving right away). Garnish each cone with a mint leaf and a cilantro leaf and serve immediately.
