Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh lump crab meat
- 2 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon chili sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 10 units grape tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cups mixed fresh greens

Instructions
In a medium bowl, gently mix the crab meat with lime juice, mayonnaise, chili sauce, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break the crab meat apart too much.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into another bowl. Mash the avocado lightly with the back of a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Finely chop the chives and cut the cucumber into small cubes. Halve the grape tomatoes.
In a small bowl, toss the cucumber cubes, halved grape tomatoes, and chives with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
Arrange mixed fresh greens across the bottom of 4 cocktail glasses or small bowls.
Add a layer of mashed avocado on top of the greens in each glass, dividing it evenly among the servings.
Spoon the crab mixture onto the avocado layer, dividing it evenly between each glass.
Top each cocktail with the seasoned cucumber and tomato mixture for a vibrant finish.
Serve immediately with a small spoon and enjoy!
