Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh crab meat
- 2 pieces ripe avocado
- 1 piece ripe mango
- 1 piece lime
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 stalk green onion
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the crab meat with mayonnaise, finely chopped green onion, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped cilantro, a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and pit the avocados. Dice the avocado into small cubes and place in another bowl. Squeeze half a lime over the avocado to prevent browning, add a pinch of salt, and toss gently.
Step 3
Peel the mango and dice it into small cubes, approximately the same size as the avocado. Place in a separate bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.
Step 4
To assemble the stack, use a 3-inch metal ring mold (or create a mold using a cleaned can with both ends removed). Place the mold on your serving plate.
Step 5
Spoon a layer of mango into the mold, pressing it down gently with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
Step 6
Next, add a layer of avocado on top of the mango, again pressing gently to form an even layer.
Step 7
Finally, layer the seasoned crab meat on top of the avocado, pressing gently to keep the stack stable.
Step 8
Carefully lift the mold off the stack, ensuring the layers remain intact.
Step 9
Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and an additional squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
