Avocado and Crab Salad

By

While we go through the heat I’m always looking for a nice fresh cool salad to pare with dinner. This is a great tasting salad to go with anything off the grill. It is made with lime juice, cilantro, red onions and olive oil. But to heat things up a little bit it has a Mexican flare to it.
