AVOCADO STUFFED WITH CRABMEAT MAISON, OR COLD CRAB SALAD

Steps:

• Crabmeat Maison:.
• Combine egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice in mixing bowl, and whisk together (until well combined); whisk in oil slowly until emulsified (this might work better in food processor, but I did by hand).
• Fold in capers, parsley, and onions, and season with salt and pepper. Chill for 2 to 4 hours.
• Shortly before serving, gently fold in crabmeat, taking care not to break any of the lumps; set aside.
• Stuffed Avocado Salad:.
• Slice the avocados lengthwise, and remove the pits. Peel and set the 8 halves aside.
• Create a bed of lettuce on 8 chilled plates. Nest the avocado halves in the center of the lettuce covered plates.
• Evenly divide the Crabmeat Maison into the cavities of the avocados, forming little mounds.
• Add a wedge of the tomato to each plate, and drizzle with the Creole Mustard Vinaigrette.

Drop heaping spoonfuls of the crab mixture into the avocados and scatter greens on top to serve.

AVOCADO STUFFED WITH CRAB-MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Squeeze the juice from 1 half of the lime into a bowl. Add the olive oil and cilantro and whisk well. Add the mango, red pepper, onion, jalapeno, and lime zest and toss to coat. Gently stir in the crabmeat to keep it from breaking up. Set aside while preparing the avocados.
• Cut the avocados in half and remove pit. Squeeze the remaining lime half over the avocado flesh, using the lime half to spread it evenly, in order to keep them from turning black.
• Toss the crab salad, check for seasoning, and mound into the avocado halves, dividing it evenly. (Use an ice cream scoop for neat, even rounds, if that's your thing.) Serve right away.
