Ingredients
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 2 whole avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 whole red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cups mixed greens (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Carefully pick through the lump crab meat to remove any shell fragments. Set the crab meat aside in a medium-sized bowl.
Step 2
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into small cubes. Add the avocado cubes to the bowl with the crab meat.
Step 3
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the bowl with the crab and avocado.
Step 4
Chop the fresh cilantro roughly and sprinkle it into the mixture.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lime, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to form the dressing.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the crab mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure even coating without breaking up the avocado or crab meat.
Step 7
If desired, serve the salad over a bed of mixed greens for added freshness and texture.
Step 8
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
