Ingredients
- 200 grams lump crab meat
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lump crab meat, mayonnaise, chopped celery, red onion, parsley, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crab meat too much.
Step 2
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
Step 3
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Using a spoon, gently scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create slightly larger hollows for the crab salad.
Step 4
Fill each avocado half with a generous scoop of the crab salad mixture.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of paprika over the top for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Step 6
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing dish!
