Crab Louis on Avocado Slices
Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes
Okay, so it's not really Crab Louis: there's no lettuce or hard-boiled egg. But it is a lovely salad. Try to get crab meat that is in lumps rather than shredded - if you can find it and it's reasonable. The better the crab, the nicer the salad. I found a can of 'marble-size' pieces that were wonderful and less then 5.00. Fresh, of course would be better, but it's not readily available here. (You could use tuna or salmon)
Ingredients:
- crab meat, 6oz , canned or fresh, 125gr, 4.4oz, canned, 'blue', drained weight
- 4 tbs mayonnaise, 59gr, 2oz, light
- 2 tbs ketchup, 30gr, 1oz
- 2 tsp tarragon white wine vinegar, 10gr, .35oz
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 5.5gr, .19oz
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 2 tbs freshly snipped chives
- 1 tomato, 250gr, 8.8oz
- 1 small avocado, pitted, 136gr, 4.8oz
Instructions:
- Drain the crab meat well and put into a bowl.
- Snip the chives and add 1 tbs to the crab.
- In another bowl mix the other 1 tbs chives, mayo, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire and chili powder.
- Add about half to crab and very gently mix - just barely. Add a bit more if you want to, but it should be just lightly dressed.
- Remove the pit from the avocado and slice half. (Wrap half in cling film and place, cut side down, on a plate and refrigerate). Fan the slices out on each of two plates.
- Slice the tomato and cut the slices in half. Arrange on the other side of the plates.
- Divide the crab and spoon into the center.
- Serve, with remaining dressing on the side. A few olives if you have them...
