Instructions
- Drain the crab meat, carefully removing any small pieces of shell.
- Peel the red onion, slice it very finely and soak it for 5 minutes in a little cold water to take the bite off.
- Dice the avocados, then chop the tomato into small pieces. Chop the coriander.
- In a bowl, combine the crab, avocado, tomato, drained onion and coriander.
- Add the lime juice and zest, olive oil, salt and pepper, then mix gently so the avocado doesn't get mashed.
- Serve straight away or keep chilled for no more than half an hour.
Variations and tips
Using what's available here. Replace fresh crab with well-drained tinned crab, or with flaked imitation crab (surimi).
Party version. Serve the salad in small glasses topped with a few cassava chips.
