How to Make A B L C Avocado Bacon Lettuce Crab
- Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine crab meat, diced apple, Tabasco sauce, chopped red onion, lime juice, parsley, and dill.
- Add half of the mayonnaise (2 tablespoons) to the crab mixture and stir gently to combine. Do not overmix.
- Cut the croissants in half. Spread a thin layer of remaining mayonnaise on both the top and bottom halves of each croissant.
- Divide the crab salad evenly among the bottom halves of the croissants.
- Top each croissant with several slices of avocado and a lettuce leaf.
- Gently fold the top half of the croissant over the filling and serve immediately. Optional: Crumble cooked bacon on top before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
