Gourmet Avocado and Crab Salad

Ingredients

• Lettuce (4 cups, torn (any variety such as romaine or butter lettuce))
• Cherry tomatoes (1 cup, halved)
• Red onion (1/4 cup, thinly sliced)
• Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Avocado (2, ripe, diced)
• Crab meat (1 cup, cooked and shredded)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Lime juice (2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the torn lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix all the ingredients together.
2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces and carefully add it to the bowl.
3. Add the cooked and shredded crab meat to the mixture, folding it in gently to maintain the integrity of the crab pieces.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a tangy dressing that perfectly complements the salad.
5. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
6. Serve the avocado and crab salad immediately for the freshest flavors and textures.
