AVOCADO CRAB BOATS



Avocado Crab Boats image

These boats are wonderful with tortilla chips, beans or rice. You can also cover them, pack them on ice, and take them to a picnic or potluck. Straight from the oven or cold, they're always delicious. -Frances Benthin, Scio, Oregon

CURRIED CORN SALAD IN AVOCADO BOATS-ANNETTE'S



Curried Corn Salad in Avocado Boats-Annette's image

We love to eat curry any way we can. I came up with this recipe in the summer time using fresh corn on the cob but then adjusted it to use frozen sweet corn so it can be made year round. It is fresh and full of flavor. The sweet corn, curry and cilantro make it taste earthy and clean. It's great as a side dish with hamburgers,...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg frozen corn, thawed
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/3 c mayonnaise
1/3 c sour cream
3 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
1 Tbsp mango chutney
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 avocados

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, mango chutney, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  • 2. Add corn, red bell pepper, and red onion. Stir to coat.
  • 3. Cut avocados in half and salt and pepper to taste. Scoop even amounts of the mixture into each avocado half and sprinkle with cilantro. Enjoy!

AVOCADO BACON BOATS

This is another recipe from the "1 of a Kind" cookbook of the Junior League of Mobile, AL. Altho somewhat similar to another recipe here on RZ that I liked & reviewed, this version expands the concept. Yield was given as 6 servings, but I like this so much that I would want 2 for me! Enjoy!
