Zesty Pacific Avocado Crab Cups

Ingredients

• 1 ripe avocado, diced
• 4 oz lump crab meat, picked clean of shells
• 1 TBS mayonnaise
• 1 tsp lime juice
• 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
• 1 TBS chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp Salted Perfection Smokin' Chipotle Finishing Salt
• 2 large endive leaves or small bibb lettuce cups
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, gently combine diced avocado, crab meat, mayonnaise, lime juice, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Handle with care, capisce? We want chunks, not guacamole mush.
2. Season the mixture with 1 tsp Salted Perfection Smokin' Chipotle Finishing Salt and freshly ground black pepper. Give it a light fold—don't overmix or you’ll bruise that delicate crab like a wiseguy picking a fight with the wrong guy.
3. Drizzle endive leaves with olive oil and arrange them on a serving plate. These are your edible boats, so keep ‘em tight and ready for action.
4. Spoon the crab-avocado mix evenly into each leaf, making sure each bite gets that smoky kick and creamy goodness.
5. Serve immediately, or chill for 10 minutes if you want it cool and crisp—just don’t let it sit too long or the avocado will brown faster than a snitch at a family reunion.
