Warm Crab, Cheese & Avocado Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 pkg. (6 oz.) lump crabmeat
  • 1 cup (4 oz.) Sargento® Artisan Blends® Shredded Authentic Mexican Cheese, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. minced parsley
  • Chipotle or smoked hot pepper sauce to taste (optional)
  • 2 large ripe avocados, halved, seeded, peeled

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together mustard and lemon juice. Gradually whisk in oil until thickened. Stir in crabmeat, 3/4 cup cheese, parsley and, if desired, hot sauce.
  2. Place avocado halves in a shallow baking dish. Mound crabmeat mixture into hollows of avocados; top with remaining cheese. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven 3 minutes or until warm and cheese is melted.
