step 1

Prepare the ingredients

Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Fill a large pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the potatoes. Remove any husks and silks from the corn. Quarter and deseed the lemon(s). Roughly chop the capers. Thinly slice the chives. Roughly chop the peppers. To make the dressing, in a large bowl, combine half the sliced chives, honey, whole grain mustard, and the juice of 2 lemon wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings); season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or 4 tablespoons for 4 servings). To make the tartar sauce, in a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, half the mayonnaise, chopped capers, the juice of 1 lemon wedge (or 2 wedges for 4 servings), and remaining sliced chives; season with salt and pepper. Place the crab in a strainer; hold or rest the strainer over a bowl. Using a spoon, press down on the crab to release as much liquid as possible; discard the liquid. Place the dried crab on a work surface; carefully pick through and remove any shells.
