Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
4 Tomatoes
1 White Crab Meat
2 Avocados
3 cloves Garlic
1 bunch Cilantro
1 Lime
1/4 tsp Salt
To taste Cayenne Pepper
To taste Mayonnaise

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients. Ensure the crab meat is picked over for any shells and drained well. Rinse the tomatoes and cilantro under cold water. Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Cut the lime into halves.

  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the white crab meat, diced avocados, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, juice of the lime, salt, cayenne pepper (to taste), and mayonnaise. Gently fold the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. Stuff Tomatoes: Carefully slice off the tops of the tomatoes and scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, creating a hollow cavity. Stuff each tomato with the prepared crab salad mixture, ensuring to pack it in tightly and mound it on top.

  4. Chill: Once all the tomatoes are stuffed, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.

  5. Serve: After chilling, remove the stuffed tomatoes from the refrigerator and serve cold. Garnish with additional cilantro leaves or lime wedges if desired. Enjoy your oh so good crab salad stuffed tomatoes!


Recipe Notes:

  • Tomato Selection: Choose ripe but firm tomatoes for the best results. Beefsteak or vine-ripened tomatoes work well for stuffing.
  • Customization: Feel free to customize the salad to your taste preferences. Add more jalapenos for extra heat or incorporate diced red onions for added flavor and crunch.
  • Make-Ahead: This dish can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It’s perfect for entertaining or as a make-ahead lunch option.
  • Presentation: For an elegant presentation, sprinkle a pinch of paprika or smoked paprika over the stuffed tomatoes before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
