  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.
