Hot Crabmeat Avocado Salad | Vintage Betty Crocker Recipes

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

crabmeat

🥗Healthier: imitation crab

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides protein.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Mix canned crab meat, chopped celery, chopped hard-boiled eggs, pimento, chopped onion, mayonnaise, and salt in a mixing bowl until combined.

Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.

Brush the avocado halves with lemon juice and sprinkle lightly with salt.

Fill the avocado halves with the crab meat mixture, leaving a small amount of avocado exposed.

Mix breadcrumbs with melted butter until coated, then sprinkle on top of the crab meat mixture in the avocados.

Bake the avocados uncovered in the oven for 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven, sprinkle slivered almonds on top, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

Let cool slightly before serving.
