Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, tomato paste, sugar, and sweet pickle relish. Mix well until the dressing is smooth and consistent.
  2. In a large bowl, gently fold the crab meat and chopped olives into 3/4 cup of the prepared dressing. Mix carefully to avoid breaking up the crab meat.
  3. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
  4. Spoon a small amount of Pace Picante sauce onto each of 4 serving plates.
  5. Place two avocado halves on each plate, cut-side up.
  6. Spoon the crab mixture into the indentation of each avocado half.
  7. Serve immediately with the remaining dressing and additional Pace Picante sauce on the side.
  8. Garnish with sliced hard-cooked eggs, if desired.
