The citrus flavored crab salad pairs nicely with the buttery avocado flesh. I prefer to use lump crab meat for this salad because it's heartier and a more pleasing texture. This recipe serves two but can easily be doubled or tripled. This unique presentation is perfect for dinner parties because it can be served individually.
Avocado and Corn Fritter Burgers
Recipe from Life Currents
This vegetarian burger is exploding with all kinds of flavors and textures. Instead of opting for a frozen veggie patty, these golden brown corn fritters are studded with green onions, serrano chiles, fresh cilantro, cheddar cheese and cream cheese. The crispy fritters combined with the creamy avocado and spicy enchilada sauce is heaven with each bite.
