Crab Salad Stuffed Avocados
Description
Crab Salad Stuffed Avocados begins by draining liquid from crab meat to keep the salad dry and flaky. Mixing the crab with crème fraîche, finely chopped celery, minced red onion and red bell pepper, fresh chopped mint, lemon juice, and finely grated Swiss cheese creates a creamy yet textured salad. Seasoned with kosher salt and fresh black pepper, this filling balances delicate seafood flavor with fresh, vibrant ingredients.
Ripe avocados are halved and pitted, and about one-third cup of the crab mixture is scooped into each half. The addition of chopped pistachios sprinkled over the top adds a contrasting crunch and nutty note. The dish is colorful and provides a combination of creamy avocado, tender crab, and crisp vegetables suitable as a satisfying appetizer or light lunch.
