Colorful Black Bean and Crab Salad image

This is a very colourful side dish that I serve with jerk chicken or barbecued steaks. I quite often will take this to a pot luck along with several copies of the recipe, as it is always requested. For more of a bite, add a finely chopped jalapeno directly to the salad in addition to the sliced jalapenos on top.

I'm allergic to crab, so I used imitation crab instead. It worked out great!

I'm not usually a fan of black bean salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of crab and avocado made it so creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
