Snow Crab Avocado and Green Goddess Dressing


1 Lb Snow Crab Clusters

Just break the shell and the crab clusters at the Hen House are already cooked!

2 Avocados
1/2 fresh Lemon

Cut into the flesh and all around the pit of each avocado, Twist the avocados and separate them. Whack the edge of your knife into each pit and remove it. Using a large spoon, scoop out each avocado half and arrange them on a plate. Brush the avocados with lemon juice.

Green Goddess Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup snipped fresh chives
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup avocado pulp
1/2 teaspoon Crooked River Farm's fresh tarragon
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl until well blended. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Use immediately or cover and refrigerate.

To Assemble

Place avocado boats on chilled platter and fill with Hen House crab cluster meat. Drizzle with green Goddess dressing AND GARNISH, garnished with fresh chives and cracked pepper. Serve chilled.

Jasper's Notes: This creamy, herb dressing was invented at the historic Palace Hotel in San Francisco in the 1920's in honor of William Archer's hit play The Green Goddess. It enjoyed great success, especially in California, for decades and, in my opinion, is worth a revival.
