Ingredients
Scale
Avocado
- 1 medium avocado
Crab Filling
- 3 ounces crab meat
- 2 tablespoons red onion, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Avocado: Slice the avocado in half, carefully remove the pit, and scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a cavity large enough to hold the crab filling.
- Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped red onion, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently stir the mixture until all ingredients are evenly incorporated without breaking up the crab meat too much.
- Stuff Avocado: Spoon the crab mixture evenly into the avocado halves, filling the cavities created earlier.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or light meal, optionally garnished with extra cilantro or lime wedges for added flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh lump crab meat for best flavor and texture.

- Optionally drizzle a little extra lime juice on top to maintain freshness.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low carb.
