Crab Avocado Salad





This was the surprise hit of the feast! First off, you will need some fresh corn. The corn was boiled and then the kernels cut from the cob. See above photo. Doesn't that look good enough to eat already?





Then I made some fresh salsa out of Rome tomatoes, sweet onions, cilantro and some lime juice, salt and pepper.



Then, using a 2 inch round mold, layer the following ingredients: fresh Hass avocado sprinkled with lime juice, corn, grilled red peppers, avocado, salsa and a generous handful of fresh, lump crabmeat that's been tossed with more lime juice and sea salt. Make sure everything is compact in the mold and then remove. For garnish, I piped in my favorite soup: creamed tomato and basil soup. But you can use a nice homemade thousand island dressing or creme fraise.
