When it is really hot and humid outside nothing is better than a cold salad with fresh seasonal produce. This is a simple salad, best eaten at room temperature (or cold) and tastes better if it sits in longer in the dressing. If you are not a crab fan, it can easily be interchanged with shrimp, grilled chicken, lobster meat, scallops or even hard-boiled eggs.
Ingredients:
1 hass Avocado, diced
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, halved
16 oz of chunk or flaked crab meat
1 quarter of a red onion
5 springs of cilantro
1 lime
1/4 cup of olive oil
salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to taste ( I like it spicy so more pepper for me)
Method:
Wash and drain the crab meat and marinade it with the zest of one lime, garlic powder and cayenne.
Chop the avocado and tomatoes and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, make the dressing by pulsing together the onion, cilantro, juice of 1 lime and the oil.
To assemble the salad, add the dressing to the tomatoes and avocado and finally toss in the crab.
Plate up and enjoy !!!

Perfect & just what I’ve been looking for. I can’t call it a ‘summer’ salad here right now because although the calendar may say JUNE, we just dropped back down to the 50’s F and I’m about to turn the heat back on.
