Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 2 whole avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups mixed greens (optional)
Instructions
Carefully pick through the lump crab meat to remove any shell fragments. Set the crab meat aside in a medium-sized bowl.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into small cubes. Add the avocado cubes to the bowl with the crab meat.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the bowl with the crab and avocado.
Chop the fresh cilantro roughly and sprinkle it into the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lime, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the crab mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating without breaking up the avocado or crab meat.
If desired, serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens for added freshness and texture.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
