Quick crab and avocado salad

Servings: 6

Tip: Brush the avocado halves with lemon juice to keep their color.

Ingredients:
3 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, in their shell
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons horseradish sauce
1 grapefruit, peeled, sectioned, sections cut in half
8 oz jumbo lump crab meat, picked through to remove shell pieces
1/2 cup sliced, roasted almonds
1. Carefully scoop out avocados into a medium bowl, leaving some of the fruit still lining the shell. Set shells aside.

2. Add half of the lemon juice and horseradish sauce to the avocados; mix until smooth. Stir in the sectioned grapefruit; fold in the crab.

3. Brush the avocado shells with the remaining lemon juice. Fill shells with the mixture; top with almonds. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
