  • In a blender combine ingredients and mix until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • To serve crab cakes, spoon puree onto the plate in a small pool. Slice the cake in half and lay the bottom portion in the puree. Spoon avocado salsa on top and place the top of the cake on the avocado like a sandwich. Top with a small amount of avocado and garnish with cilantro leaf.

Overall, I thought the sandwiches were good. The crab and avocado were fresh and flavorful, but the mango coulis was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I found the sandwiches to be a bit bland. I think they needed more seasoning.

The sandwiches were good, but the mango coulis was a bit overpowering. I think I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.
