AVOCADO CRAB DIP



AVOCADO CRAB DIP image

Categories     Appetizer     Cocktail Party     Avocado     Chill     Raw

Yield 6 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 c crab meat
chopped avocado
2T chives
1/2 minced, seeded jalapeno
2 chopped scallions
1/2 tsp lime zest and juice of 1 lime
2 T olive oil

Steps:

  • combine all ingredients and serve

Tips:

  • Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. If it gives to gentle pressure, it's ripe.
  • Use fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use canned or frozen crab meat, but be sure to rinse it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing the dip will make it watery. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Serve the dip chilled: Avocado crab dip is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Garnish the dip with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, chives, or parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to the dip.

Conclusion:

Avocado crab dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, flavorful, and packed with protein. Whether you're serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, avocado crab dip is sure to be a hit.
