Step 1

Place the crab in a large mixing bowl along with the avocado, tomatoes, shallots, jalapeños, salt and pepper, fresh parsley, and the lime zest and juice. Give the contents of the bowl a good stir to mix everything up and make sure that the lime juice gets distributed evenly.

Step 2

Add the extra virgin olive oil—1 to 2 tablespoons depending on your preference—and give the salad another quick toss. The olive oil isn't absolutely necessary, but I find that it creates a richer and more buttery flavor while also cutting the acidity a smidge.

Step 3

Serve as a side or with crackers, fresh bread. This crab meat salad also goes great on a bed of mixed greens.
