Crab Guacamole – the ultimate side dish or appetizer! 

Good guacamole consists of ripe avocados and fresh ingredients. Have you ever been to a Mexican restaurant where they prepare the guacamole in front of you? There is no secret recipe. Fresh cilantro, lime juice, red onions, avocados, salt, and jalapenos are all you need. Regular guacamole is delicious, but crab guacamole? Holy Guacamole. So good! Hot Crab Dip was a very successful recipe on the blog, so I know you guys love crab! This guacamole goes great on top of some Carne Asada Tacos.

How to Make Crab Guacamole 

Making guacamole is super easy, here’s all you have to do:

1. Dice the jalapenos and red onions.
2. Finely chop the cilantro.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the avocados, jalapenos, red onions, cilantro, and lime juice.
4. Season generously with salt.
5. Fold in the crab and enjoy!

Top Tips:

• Placing the avocado pit in the guacamole will prevent it from turning brown.
• Avocados start browning quickly after they’re exposed to air so make sure you slice it open once you’re done chopping all of the other ingredients.

How Long Does Guacamole Last?

1-2 days refrigerated.
