Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Make the herbed lemon yogurt
- Strip the tarragon leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
- Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside half for garnish.
- Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. [Zest both lemons and juice 1 lemon; save the remaining zested lemon for another use.]
In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, tarragon, half the mint, lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2
Prep and cook the beets
- Cut a small corner from the beet packaging and drain off any excess liquid; cut the beets into ½-inch-thick wedges, pat dry with a paper towel, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the beets in a single layer and cook, turning once, until lightly crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed. Wipe out the pan.
3
Prep and cook the crab cakes
- Pat the crab cakes dry with a paper towel.
In the same pan used for the beets, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the crab cakes and cook, turning once, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, prepare the salad.
4
Assemble the warm beet–plum salad
- Trim the root end from the endive; coarsely chop the leaves.
- Cut the plums in half and remove the pits; cut the fruit into ½-inch pieces.
- Coarsely chop the almonds; set aside for garnish.
In a large bowl, stir together the lemon vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil. Add the endive, plums, and beets and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Spread the herbed lemon yogurt on individual plates and top with the crab cakes. Arrange the warm beet–plum salad alongside. Garnish the salad with the almonds and remaining mint and serve.
