    Avocado Crab Salad or Crab Salad-Stuffed Avocados

    4
    By Alisa Fleming on June 7, 2016 Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees, Salad

    Fresh, creamy, low carb and dairy free join forces in this delicious avocado crab salad. The recipe reminds me of a southwestern-style California roll. In fact, I see no reason why you couldn’t enjoy it stirred into rice, if grains aren’t a concern for you. Also, if crab prices are simply too high, baby shrimp, salmon or even tuna can be swapped in for an equally delicious alternative.

    Note that this recipe has two options: a chopped style salad over greens or crab salad stuffed into avocado halves (as pictured). If you are a fan of stuffed avocado halves, then I highly recommend checking out this Peruvian Stuffed Avocados recipe, too!

      That looks amazing. I’ve been avocado obsessed lately and this looks like the perfect lunch.
