Crab salad with tarragon is an exquisite dish of American cuisine that combines the freshness of seafood with aromatic herbs. Historically, crabs are one of the favorite ingredients in the coastal regions of the USA, and tarragon adds a refined spice to the dish. Tender crab meat is combined with a tangy sauce made from egg yolk, vinegar, and olive oil, creating a harmony of flavors. Tarragon leaves and green onions add freshness, while serving on slices of juicy tomatoes with crispy romaine leaves makes the salad not only tasty but also aesthetically appealing. Serving with a crispy baguette highlights the dish's sophistication. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or an elegant appetizer, adding a touch of elegance to the meal.
