Avocado and crab salad

Avocado and crab salad

A fresh, zingy salad that’s reminiscent of old-school prawn cocktail – but better. It’s lovely with toasted sourdough.

Ingredients

  • 100g pack brown crabmeat
  • 2 limes, juice
  • 2 tsp tomato ketchup
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 jalapeño chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • ½ x 25g pack coriander, stalks finely chopped, leaves picked, ½ finely chopped
  • 1 Perfectly Ripe Avocado, roughly chopped
  • 2 little gem lettuce, leaves separated
  • 100g pack white crabmeat

Method

  1. To make the sauce, whisk together the brown crabmeat, the juice of 1 lime and the ketchup in a bowl; set aside. In another bowl, make the salsa. Combine the olive oil, remaining lime juice, sugar, salt and 1 tbsp water. Stir through the chilli, finely chopped coriander and the avocado.

  2. Divide the sauce between plates and spread out with the back of a spoon, then arrange the lettuce on top. Spoon the salsa into and over the leaves, then top with the white crabmeat. Add a generous grinding of black pepper, then scatter over the coriander leaves to finish.

And to drink...

The dry, citrussy character of Les Filets Piquepoul & Terret Blanc IGP Côtes de Thau, France* is a great match for this salad.
