This looks like a good recipe, but it says to "carefully peel" the avocados. The picture doesn't show a peeled avocado!

Pick this recipe for Spring PAC 2013 and what a fabulous choice!!!!! This was delicious. We had some fresh avocados we brought back to Boise from California and used them. DH wants this again soon. Made as written and definately putting this into my Favorites of 2013. Thank you for posting.

I made as per recipe for the crabmeat (fresh blue swimmers) but used only 1 avocado for the MIL and I and scaled the mayo back to a half recipe. This is delicious and made a great lunch for the MIL and I. I got about 1 cup of dressing from a half recipe and we used it up mixing it with fresh crab meat and serving in wholemeal/wholegrain bread/rolls. Also flicked it over a green salad - lovely. A very versatile recipe which I will continue to use maybe using chicken in place of crabmeat and serve in lettuce leaves when avocados are out of season. Thank you TeresaS for a great holiday recipe/memory.
