    Incredible!
    I really, really loved this! Mix the may and lime and coriander separately to get a smooth dressing, then add to crab. I used imitation crab, because that's what was on hand, and it was still fantastic. - 6/27/11

    Crab. avocado, cilantro...what's not to like?! No tomatoes or lettuce in the house so I had it on an Arnold's sandwich thin. Mighty tasty! - 1/8/11

    Awesome, and very easy! I'll definitely make this again. I even used imitation crab to save $$ and it was still wonderful! - 8/8/09

    I had leftover crab from crab legs and this recipe sounds certainly healthier then gumbo I was thinking about making. Nice tangy ingredients - 5/19/08

    Incredible!
    I loved this recipe. I ate a double-serving for dinner. Fresh, easy to make, healthy, and (most importantly), very tasty! So good that I made it again the next evening - ran out of avocado, so made it without and it was (almost) as good - and lower fat and calories. - 3/16/08

    This recipe is not vegetarian! A crab is an animal! - 10/16/07
