Ingredients:

Serving

2 tsp chopped fresh ginger
grated zest of 1/2 lemon
2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp white- or rice-wine vinegar
2 scallions including green tops, chopped
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup cooking oil
3/4 lb watercress , tough stems removed (about 2 quarts)
1/2 head romaine lettuce (about 3/4 lb), cut crosswise into 1-inch strips (about 2 quarts)
2 ripe avocados , preferably haas, diced
1/2 lb lump crabmeat , picked free of shell

Directions:

In a blender, combine the ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, scallions, soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Pulse to chop. Add the oil and puree until smooth.
In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the watercress, romaine, avocados, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss the salad with all but 3 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and mound the salad on plates.
Toss the crabmeat with the remaining vinaigrette. Spoon the dressed crabmeat over the salads.
Wine Recommendation: Avocados are so rich it can be hard to find a wine to match. Opt for contrast instead by using a crisp Italian white wine such as Soave or Orvieto. Its fresh but neutral flavors will stand back and let the salad shine.
Notes: Wait until you're ready to toss the salad before dicing the avocados. The acidity in the vinaigrette will keep them from turning brown.
