Wheat Free Avocado Crab Spread
This creamy, herb-flecked spread is the kind of thing that disappears fast at any gathering — rich avocado folded together with tender lump crab, bright lemon, and a fragrant hit of turmeric and ginger. Every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no swapping, substituting, or second-guessing involved. The garlic-infused olive oil adds a subtle depth that ties the whole thing together without overpowering the delicate crab. Fresh chives, parsley, and optional cilantro keep it lively and green-tasting in the best possible way. Serving it with cucumber rounds or endive leaves keeps the whole spread light and crisp, though cassava crackers are a fantastic option if you want something with a little more bite. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a fork and a bowl, making it an effortless choice for entertaining or a quick, satisfying snack.
