  • ½ mango peeled and diced
  • ⅓ cup red bell pepper diced
  • ⅓ cup red onion diced
  • ½ jalapeno diced
  • ½ pound crabmeat jumbo lump

  • Squeeze half a lime into a bowl. Add the oil and cilantro and mix well.
  • Add the lime zest, mango, bell pepper, onion and jalapeno and mix well.
  • Add the crab and mix gently.
  • Drizzle the remaining lime juice over the avocado.
  • Place 1/4th of the avocado in the bottom of a large round cookie cutter or metal ring. Tamp down slightly with the bottom of a spoon.
