Avocado halves are stuffed with a salad of crab, pecans, and grapefruit then garnished with hard-boiled eggs and olives. Although this goes together quickly, I suggest you delay cutting the avocados until you are ready to fill them, so they do not turn dark.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 avocados
  • 1 pound crab meat, picked through and diced
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons ketchup
  • Dash of Worchestershire sauce
  • Lettuce
  • 1 cup halved grapefruit sections
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • Black olives

Preparation:

Cut the avocados in half and remove the seeds.

Combine the crab meat with pecans, mayonnaise, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon into the avocados.

Serve on a bed of crisp lettuce surrounded by grapefruit sections and garnished with chopped hard-boiled eggs and black olives.

Yield: 4 servings
