Avocado Crab Rolls
- Avocado Mayo
- 1/2 ripe hass avocado - rough chop
- 1/3 cup good quality mayo
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon champagne vinegar
- Avocado crab rolls
- 1 cup crab meat - I used blue crab but use your best quality local or available crab (or even lobster if you had too :))
- 1/2 ripe hass avocado - chopped
- 2 tablespoons red pepper, minced
- 2 tablespoons celery, ribs removed, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 2 hot dog buns (top split preferred - if not, trim the side crust off to leave a flat space for toasting)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3-4 leaves buttercrunch (butter) lettuce - optional
- Old Bay seasoning
- In a food processor, combine all ingredients and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, gently combine the crab, red pepper, and celery. Add spoonfuls of the avocado mayo to adjust the moistness to your liking. For my two rolls, I used approximately 3 tablespoons of the avo mayo.
- Fold in the avocado gently. Taste for seasoning.
- Assembly - OPTIONAL to use the buttercrisp lettuce - I like the crunch on mine - my husband and son prefer to leave the "salad" out of their roll. Its up to you. Layer (or not) a few leaves of lettuce in the bun. Heap on the crab salad. Sprinkle with Old Bay and top with chives.
