1 tsp. fresh chives
dash of fresh lime juice
dash of fresh lemon juice
4 oz. ice water

1.. Divide the chopped onions in half and spread one half over the bottom of a mixing bowl. Spread crab meat over this. Spread the remaining onion over this. Salt and pepper to taste.
2. In a small bowl, combine cider vinegar, olive oil, capers, spices, lime juice, lemon juice and ice water. Mix together.
3. Pour this mixture over the crab and onion.
4. Cover and refrigerate 2 to 12 hours before serving.
