    Start by gathering all the ingredients. Drain any excess liquid from the crab meat, and set aside. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the avocado in the bowl until you achieve a creamy yet chunky consistency. Be careful not to over-mash.

Mixing the Salad

    In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha sauce, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

    Pour the dressing over the avocado and crab mixture. Gently fold the dressing into the salad until everything is well coated.
