Description

A refreshing and easy no-cook recipe featuring creamy avocado halves stuffed with a zesty crab meat mixture, perfect for a light lunch or appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale

Crab Mixture

  • 2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
  • 3 ounces crab meat
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Avocado

  • 1 medium avocado
  • Salt and pepper, to season


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crab Mixture: In a small bowl, combine chopped red onion, lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced cherry tomatoes, olive oil, crab meat, salt, and black pepper. Toss all ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly mixed.
  2. Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Carefully peel off the skin from each half. Lightly season each avocado half with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Fill each seasoned avocado half generously with the prepared crab mixture. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh crab meat for the best taste and texture.
  • Choose a ripe but firm avocado to hold the filling well.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning.
  • Optional: Add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
