Stuffed Avocado
Just a quick appetizer idea :stuffed avocado sushi salad . This simple appetizer can be make within a few minutes on quick hand, and served with stir fried veggies as a side dish or garnish. I would suggest to make these stuffed avocados a few minutes prior to serving,as a dish like this can loose its fresh look very quickly. Because this is a sushi related appetizer, feel free to use any of your favorite sushi ingredient to top the final dish with or even mix in with the crabmeat mayo filling .
Depending on the quantity you need, double or triple the recipe , this recipe with serve 2-3 people.
