This recipe is fantastic! So much flavor and so fresh. Such a beautiful presentation! I got this recipe from Simply Recipes and it a family favorite. I did not include the 1-2 hours to chill the salad prep time.

Steps:
- Sauce directions:.
- Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the mango, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes until the fruit is very tender. Add water, bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice. Pour the mixture into a blender and purée until smooth. Chill.
- Alternatively, if you are pressed for time, put all of the sauce ingredients into a blender and purée.
- Crab salad directions:.
- 1 In a bowl add the crab meat, 2 tsp of the cilantro, 1 tsp of the mint, the chopped shallot, a Tbsp of lime juice, 2 Tbsp of olive oil, 10 drops of Tabasco sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix carefully with a fork, to avoid breaking up the larger lumps of crab meat. Set aside.
- 2 In a separate bowl add the mango, avocado, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1/2 Tbsp of lime juice, the remaining cilantro and mint leaves, 10 drops of Tabasco, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently with a spoon, taking care not to mush the avocado pieces.
- 3 Spoon some mango avocado mixture on to a chilled plate, gently mound some crab mixture over it. Garnish with cilantro leaves. For a tasty added touch if you have them, arrange peeled sections of sweet ruby red grapefruit around the salads. The grapefruit provides a flavorful complement to the crab salad.
- Alternatively you can use small tureens or desert bowls for individual molds, line the mold with plastic wrap, then layer the crab mixture and the mango avocado mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. When you are ready to serve, gently remove the salads from the molds onto individual plates. Serve the sauce on the side.

AVOCADO STUFFED WITH CRAB-MANGO SALAD
Steps:
- Squeeze the juice from 1 half of the lime into a bowl. Add the olive oil and cilantro and whisk well. Add the mango, red pepper, onion, jalapeno, and lime zest and toss to coat. Gently stir in the crabmeat to keep it from breaking up. Set aside while preparing the avocados.
- Cut the avocados in half and remove pit. Squeeze the remaining lime half over the avocado flesh, using the lime half to spread it evenly, in order to keep them from turning black.
- Toss the crab salad, check for seasoning, and mound into the avocado halves, dividing it evenly. (Use an ice cream scoop for neat, even rounds, if that's your thing.) Serve right away.
CRAB AVOCADO MANGO STACK
This is one of my favorite appetizers at a local seafood restaurant. I loved it so much that I've recreated it at home. It makes enough for two generously portioned stacks.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe ingredients.
- If you can't find fresh crab, you can use canned crab meat. Just be sure to drain it well and flake it into small pieces.
- If you don't have a mango, you can use another type of fruit, such as pineapple or papaya.
- If you don't have an avocado, you can use another type of creamy fruit, such as banana or pear.
- Be careful not to overcook the crab. It should be cooked just until it is opaque and tender.
- Serve the salad immediately, or it will start to wilt.
