crab with mango

Sunday afternoon these whole, cooked Dungeness crab were lying in wait at Whole Foods in Chelsea. I was reprimanded for taking this picture as the fish man cracked and cleaned my crab. Chastened, I ran back to the produce section for  two brilliantly-named champagne mangoes, some cilantro, and a red onion.

The object was to make a mango salsa, but when it came time to eat  Monday night, I was too tired to do more than dice the mango with some onion and cilantro and a tiny bit of white vinegar. Thank goodness the help was there to extract the crab meat from its beautiful shell.

Thanks to the meltingly delicious mango, it was a very nice light dinner.

How wonderful to be such a great chef! Maybe instead of posting photos of hungry, "crabby" boys, photos of cheerful, adorable younger sisters are in order?! Am I wrong?
