🦀 🥑 Crab and Avocado Toasts 🥑 🦀
Dungeness Crab and Avocado Toasts start with a slice of perfectly toasted artisan bread. A layer of creamy, seasoned avocado creates a luscious base that is topped with a generous portion of Dungeness crab meat salad. Adding a finishing touch, thin matchsticks of crisp radish provide a refreshing crunch and a subtle peppery bite, balancing the richness of the avocado and crab.
Dungeness crab, a gem of the Pacific Ocean, is celebrated for its sweet, succulent, ocean-y taste. Named after the port of Dungeness, Washington, this crab has long been a favorite for seafood lovers, especially along the West Coast. Perfect for brunch, a light lunch, or an elegant appetizer, crab and avocado toasts are an easy yet luxurious treat.
