Crabmeat and Avocado Salad
Author: 
Yields: 12 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 3 large Creole tomatoes, halved
  • 3 large Hass avocados, halved and pitted
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Spicy Vinaigrette (recipe follows), divided
  • 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked free of shell
  • Garnish: lemon zest, fresh lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Cut each tomato half into 6 wedges, about ½-inch thick. Peel avocado halves, and cut each half lengthwise into 6 slices. In the center of each of 12 chilled salad plates, fan 3 tomato wedges and 3 avocado slices. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large bowl, vigorously whisk ½ cup Spicy Vinaigrette to blend all ingredients. Add crabmeat, stirring very gently with a spoon to keep lumps intact.
  3. Vigorously whisk remaining ½ cup Spicy Vinaigrette, and drizzle about 1 tablespoon over each serving of tomato and avocado. Spoon a portion of crabmeat over edge of tomato and avocado, allowing most of it to fall onto plate. Garnish with lemon zest and juice, if desired. Serve immediately.
