Crab filled mozarella w/ mint

When having company over it's nice to be prepared so you don't spend the time in the kitchen. Here is a great appetizer that is easy to make. The preparation time is about 10 minutes and can be done a little in advance.

Unfortunately i forgot  to measure things out when making this, so I'm going by memory. I hope you can forgive me for. This is based on one plate serving.

Ingredients:
2½-3 oz of fresh king crab meat
1½ inch piece of fresh mozzarella
1 teaspoon finely chopped mint
2 teaspoons finely chopped chives
Juice of one lemon
½ cup of olive oil
1 handful of cut lettuce of your choice
Salt and pepper if desired

Here is how you go about it:

Mince the crab meat in a bowl. In another bowl squeeze in the lemon juice and add the oil. Whisk it until is becomes 'creamy' and the oil and lemon mixes. Take two table spoons of the dressing and mix with the crab meat and add the mint.

Cut out the center out of the mozzarella. Take out a plate and put the luttuce on. Place the mozarella on the lettuce. Fill the crab mixture in the mozzarella and well over the top. Chop up the chives finely and add to the remaining mixture of oil and lemon juice. Whisk it up a bit and drissle the dressing over the crab and mozzarella.
