Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Avocado

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado gently with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of Meyer lemon juice to prevent browning.

2

Mix the Crab

In a separate bowl, combine the Dungeness crab meat with the Dijonnaise, remaining Meyer lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix gently to combine.

3

Assemble the Cocktail

In serving glasses or bowls, layer the mashed avocado at the bottom, then spoon the crab mixture on top. Garnish with additional chives and a sprinkle of black pepper.

4

Serve

Serve chilled as an appetizer or light meal. Enjoy immediately!
