Seafood Salad Stuffed Avocado
Author Notes: Perfect for a light luncheon or as a fun and innovative salad course, the Seafood Salad Stuffed Avocado is simple to make but looks very fancy! The flavors are light and bright and the rich avocado and mayo balance the citrus and salt from the lemony crab and lobster. —Andrea Carr
