Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the lime juice with the olive oil, vegetable oil, jalapeno, chopped cilantro, honey and garlic.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, toss the crab with 3 tablespoons of the dressing and season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the avocado with the red onion and 2 tablespoons of the dressing; season with salt and pepper.
- Place a tomato slice on each plate and season with salt.
- Top with the avocado and the crab and garnish with the cilantro.
- Drizzle the remaining dressing on top and serve with tortilla chips or pita chips.
- *To make the same as the cover - spoon chopped cherry tomatoes into glasses; top with the crab, avocado and remaining dressing and serve.
- **Rich crab and avocado demand a white wine with substantial body; at the same time, only a white with good acidity will stand up to Zemanick's sweet-spicy-tart dressing. Look for the silky 2006 Ramey Russian River Valley wine or the peach-scented 2005 Gallo of Sonoma Estate wine.

Suggested Pairing Rich crab and avocado demand a white wine with substantial body; at the same time, only a white with good acidity will stand up to Zemanick's sweet-spicy-tart dressing. The cool temperatures in Sonoma's Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations result in Chardonnays with a firm line of acidity under their rich fruit.
OKRA, AVOCADO AND TOMATO SALAD WITH CHILI AND LIME JUICE
This lively combination is inspired by one of my favorite Mexican salads, which is made with diced cooked cactus paddles (nopales), onion, tomato and avocado. Cactus paddles are gooey, like okra, so I figured okra could stand in for nopales in this salad. The result is prettier and, I think, tastier -- and certainly easier to work with than cactus. There is no need for oil in this salad. If you want less viscosity, you can marinate the okra in vinegar and salt first (see this week's other recipes), but you will lose the beautiful color. You must serve this right away.
