Marinated Crab Salad on Field Greens

I've made this Alton Brown recipe probably a dozen times in the last six years. I love it; it has become a standby. If you need an alternative to mayonnaise or cream cheese based recipe or if you're looking for a chilled or room temperature salad this is a great choice And, it's gluten free, so enjoy!
