In a medium bowl, combine crab, pea pods and scallions.
In a food processor make the dressing by combining ricotta, yogurt, orange juice, curry powder and salt. Process until smooth and creamy. Add 2/3 cup dressing to the seafood mixture and toss well making sure it is all well combined
Arrange lettuce leaves and cucumber slices on 4 individual serving plates. Mound curried seafood salad on top and garnish with almonds.
Pass remaining dressing to pour as desired.
NOTE: I often use imitation crab and sometimes lobster to make this recipe and because of
all the flavors it works well.
