You can make the dressing for the crab salad in advance and pick the crab from the shells a day ahead, but don't combine the two or cut and fill the avocados until moments before you're ready to serve. The bright crab flavor will become muddled if seasoned in advance and cut avocados have a tendency to oxidize and darken. -From My Family Table by John Besh/Andrews McMeel Publishing
