Crab, Mango, and Avocado Salad


LOVE this simple salad! Great for these hot summer days. Grab a bottle of white wine, and you have a fabulously decadent meal! Nothing celebrates the summertime more......

Crab Mango and Avocado Salad

INGREDIENTS

* 3 tablespoons orange juice
* 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1 teaspoon grated orange peel
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 1/2 red onion, sliced paper-thin
* 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat, picked over, separated into chunks
* 1 large (15- to 16-ounce) mango, peeled, pitted, sliced
* 1 large avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, sliced
* 12 large Boston lettuce leaves

PREPARATION



Combine first 4 ingredients in small bowl; whisk in oil. Season dressing with salt and pepper. I used Australian pink salt. Love the delicate flavor with the crab! Mix in onion; let marinate 15 minutes.

Combine crabmeat, mango, and avocado in large bowl. Gently mix in dressing. Overlap ends of 3 lettuce leaves in center of each plate, forming bowl. Mound salad in lettuce bowls and serve.

Yes, it really is this easy! And SO good! Drink your wine with your pinky finger stuck straight out. With a foo-foo salad like this, it is a MUST! LOL!
