Macadamia Free Avocado Crab Spread
Creamy avocado meets sweet, tender lump crab in a spread that feels genuinely luxurious without requiring much effort at all. The garlic-infused olive oil adds a subtle depth, while fresh lemon juice and zest keep everything bright and balanced. A pinch of turmeric and ground ginger give the whole thing a warm, slightly exotic edge that sets it apart from your average dip. Folding the crab in gently rather than blending it smooth means you still get satisfying bites of real seafood throughout. Spreads and dips can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain tree nuts, since they sneak into everything from flavored crackers to store-bought guacamole blends — here, every single ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. Serve it piled onto cucumber rounds or endive leaves for a light, elegant appetizer, or go the cassava cracker route for something a little more substantial. It comes together in minutes and disappears just as fast.
