How to Make A B L C Avocado Bacon Lettuce Crab

  1. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine crab meat, diced apple, Tabasco sauce, chopped red onion, lime juice, parsley, and dill.
  3. Add half of the mayonnaise (2 tablespoons) to the crab mixture and stir gently to combine. Do not overmix.
  4. Cut the croissants in half. Spread a thin layer of remaining mayonnaise on both the top and bottom halves of each croissant.
  5. Divide the crab salad evenly among the bottom halves of the croissants.
  6. Top each croissant with several slices of avocado and a lettuce leaf.
  7. Gently fold the top half of the croissant over the filling and serve immediately. Optional: Crumble cooked bacon on top before serving.
