Instructions
- Cut avocados in half and scoop out flesh. Puree in food processor or blender until smooth.
- Add chopped cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Add paprika and juice of one lime. Set aside. Peel and shred celery root. Add chopped basil, juice of one lime and 1 Tbsp of the olive oil. Mix well and set aside.
- With a fork separate the crabmeat to make sure there are no bones or cartilage. Add the chives, cilantro, juice of one lime and the other tablespoon of olive oil. Mix thoroughly.
- To serve, use a 3-inch round ring (a biscuit cutter will work) or glass cylinder to layer the salad. Dividing into four equal portions, start with a layer of celery root, top with a layer of the avocado puree and finish with the crab. Garnish with diced tomato and serve chilled.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
