Description

Crust bread and delicious crab salad, this screams summer!

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
  • 1 whole French Baguette (mine Was About 16 Inches Long)
  • 1 pound Lump Crab Meat
  • 1 cup Grape Tomatoes, Roughly Chopped
  • 4 slices Bacon, Fried And Crumbled
  • 1 whole Avocado, Pitted, Peeled And Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Chopped Tarragon
  • 2 Tablespoons Freshly Chopped Parsley
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 whole Lemon, Juiced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Add one tablespoon of olive oil to a small bowl. Slice the baguette into rounds about 3/4 inch thick. Brush each round with olive oil and lay on a baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until baguette rounds are toasty and golden in color. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine crabmeat, tomatoes, bacon, avocado, tarragon, parsley, salt and pepper. Stir with a large spoon until the mixture is combined. Add in lemon juice and remaining olive oil, and continue to mix. The mixture will be somewhat “loose,” but as it sits the avocado will break down a bit and cause a more creamy texture.

Serve in a large bowl with multiple spoons and a plate of the baguette rounds.
