East Hampton Crab Salad
Makes 4 appetizer servings or 4 sandwiches

1 pound jumbo lump crab meat, picked over for cartilage
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/4 cup sliced scallions (white and green parts)

1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh mayonnaise, or good-quality prepared mayonnaise

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

In a medium bowl, combine the crab, onion, scallions, tarragon, mint, and lemon zest.
