Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons canned adobo sauce (from chipotle chiles in adobo)

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper (from about 1/2 bell pepper)

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, plus sprigs for garnish

1 pound cooked Dungeness crab meat, picked

4 avocados, peeled, pitted

Directions

  1. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, adobo sauce, ketchup and lime juice together in a large bowl. Season with some salt and pepper. Fold in the bell peppers and chopped cilantro. Then fold in the crab.
  2. Cut a thin slice off the rounded side of the avocadoes so that they sit flat on a plate. Place the avocado halves, flat-side down, on a platter. Fill the cavities with the crab mixture, dividing equally. Garnish with a cilantro sprig. Serve cold.

I made this salad for a quick fresh meal and it was amazing! My family and I are big chipotle cream lovers and this salad hit the spot just right. I did have to add more crab meat so the dressing wouldn’t over power it. But other than that, it was great!
