"I use this machine all the time," says Jing Tio of his L'Equip dehydrator, which looks like a supersized plastic toaster with horizontal drying trays. Tio has perfected the art of drying orange peel, grinding it to create a citrus powder with a beautifully smooth flavor—delicious with his simple crab and scallion salad. You can buy granulated orange peel at specialty food shops.

Our Pairing Suggestion

It's an easy day-trip from Jing Tio's store to the Santa Barbara wine country, an ideal source for white Rhône varieties like Marsanne and Viognier. Blended together, they make a great partner for this piquant crab salad.
