Lump Crab - Avocado Salad image

Inspired by a delicious Crab-Avocado appetizer served at Chicago's famous Gibson's Steakhouse. The key is using good, fresh lump crab meat - I buy mine at Costco and it has always been great.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb large lump crabmeat
1 stalk celery, sliced very thin
1 medium scallion, sliced very thin
1/4 small green pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)

Steps:

  • Lightly toss the chopped vegetables with the crab meat - try to minimize breaking up the lumps.
  • Stir the remaining ingredients together and toss into the crab-vegetable mixture.

  • Spoon the crab salad over the avocado halves. Garnish with lemon wedges.
