Instructions
Carefully pick through the crabmeat to remove any pieces of shell or cartilage. Set the crabmeat aside in a mixing bowl.
Dice the mango, avocado, red bell pepper, and red onion into uniform pieces to ensure even distribution of flavors. Add them to the bowl with the crabmeat.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Optional: Add a dash of hot sauce to the dressing for a spicy kick.
Pour the dressing over the crabmeat and fruit mixture. Gently toss all the ingredients together using a spatula, being careful not to break apart the crabmeat and avocado.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice, if needed.
Place a romaine lettuce leaf on each serving plate and spoon the Caribbean Crabmeat Salad onto the leaves for an attractive presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, tropical dish!
