A Goa Chef’ shares his recipe for a Waldorf-inspired crab salad with an Italian twist

Blue Swimmer Crab salad by Chef De Cuisine Vetri Selvan 

Italian culture bursts with flavour especially when it comes to food and life. Known for its simplicity and robustness, Italian cuisine has gained popularity around the globe. The virtues of Italian food are rightly attributed to the high-quality ingredients that make up the majority of dishes, rather than the complexity of preparation.

Riverside, an Italian restaurant by the River Sal at The St. Regis Goa Resort serves a plethora of innovative Italian dishes by Chef De Cuisine Vetri Selvan. He mentions that the concept for the Blue Swimmer Crab salad is drawn from the classic Waldorf salad, which is traditionally made with apples, celery and walnuts. The addition of apple jelly adds a sweet and sour element to the Blue Swimmer Crab salad, creating a balanced flavour. The jelly also helps bind the ingredients together, giving the salad its unique texture.
