CHILE-LIME CRAB SALAD WITH TOMATO AND AVOCADO
Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice with the olive oil, vegetable oil, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, honey and garlic. Season the dressing with salt and pepper. 2. 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. 3. 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. Notes Variation: To replicate our cover recipe, spoon chopped cherry tomatoes into glasses; top with the crab, avocado and remaining dressing and serve. 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.
CRAB, TOMATO AND AVOCADO SALAD
This salad feels fancy and cross cultural, although all of its ingredients are available in most any market--even now. Some may find it reminiscent of a salad at a French bistro, while I was pulled towards memories of dishes conjured up in Berkeley and Oakland because of the avocado (adding citrus to the dressing would tip the scale to California cuisine). Either way, it is simple and delicious.

Steps:
- Place the tomatoes on serving plates or a large platter in a scattered single layer. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits, then remove the avocado flesh, cut or tear it into pieces and scatter over the tomatoes. Distribute the crabmeat evenly over the tomatoes and avocado, breaking the larger chunks up a bit. Mix the olive oil, tarragon and some salt in a bowl with a spoon, then drizzle it over the salad. Sprinkle a healthy amount of salt over everything as well, before serving at room temperature.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe ingredients. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and delicious.
- Use a variety of textures. This will make your salad more interesting to eat. For example, you could use crunchy celery, creamy avocado, and tender crab.
- Don't overcrowd the salad. This will make it difficult to mix and serve. Aim for about 2 cups of salad per person.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavors of the salad. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
- Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the avocado from browning and the crab from becoming tough. Garnish with fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Crab, tomato, and avocado salad is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and delicious flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
