Ready in just 20 minutes, it's a seafood lover's dream and a must-try for fans of fresh, flavorful crab recipes.
Carefully pick over the lump crabmeat to remove any shells or cartilage, being careful not to break up the lumps. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the diced celery, red bell pepper, and chopped chives to the crabmeat, then gently fold in the dressing. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the crabmeat.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Divide the mixed salad greens between four plates, then arrange grape tomatoes and avocado slices on top of the greens.
Spoon the dressed crabmeat mixture on top of the salad greens, dividing it evenly among the plates.
Serve immediately and enjoy this elegant and delicious dish!
