Picture this. Me. My giant camera. A great big glass of fruity Rioja & these Crispy Avocado Wedges with Crab Salad being prepared while I watch, wait & click.
Lucky moi…
I don’t fry (yet) so I had my great pal Chef David Burton Sanchez prepare these for us. I took recipe notes, sipped & shot while he cooked.
The great BIG bonus is I get to share these with you.
And that I got to eat ’em.
My job has its downsides. I know. Boo hoo. Great chefs cook for me & I get to take pictures of them cooking for me.
Yep. I pinch myself regularly.
The fantastic news is now we can all cook this for ourselves. Enjoy a few for an appetizer, or a few more for a main course. I would love these crispy avocados on a fresh green salad too. If you are gluten free you can easily sub in your favorite gluten free flour & GF panko.
If you are not gluten free then no bother.
This recipe would be awesome to prepare for your Memorial Day & July 4th BBQ’s, picnics & summer parties.

Oh by the way. Someone just got his new bicycle & is overjoyed!
He had lots of this avocado when we stayed at The Osprey Beaver Creek for Spring Break.
Enjoy!

These look like my kind of salad! Craving at 5am 🙂 xo
Ha! I’m craving them for breakfast too 🙂
ok, seriously – this is AWESOME. i would fry up a bunch of these and eat them solely for dinner! haha
Yessssss! Great idea Julie!
Such a fun salad!
This recipe looks scrumptious! New bikes are the best! Pinned
New bikes are the best! He is in heaven 🙂 Even better when you can come home from a long ride & munch on crispy avocados 😉
I think this should be a new thing… let’s visit chefs, have them make something awesome, photograph it and share it with our readers. That sounds so much easier than doing it all on our own, don’t you think? These looks sooooo good!
Hi Lori! Yes, I really enjoy working with Chefs. I love learning food from the pros.The team work energy is amazing. Chef David is a real professional in the kitchen. We have some more recipes coming your way soon!
these are beautiful! I just went on a hunt on-line for GF panko, but I am so sad that they all have dairy and eggs! I will keep looking, because those fried avocado bites are amazing!
Hopefully you can find a substation soon Heather ~ you will be very pleased when you do 🙂
These crispy avocado wedges sound superb!!! ESPECIALLY with the crab salad to accompany them! Have to make this.
Love the crispy avocado, such a fun presentation!
This looks incredibly delicious! The perfect lunch!
I am dying to find out the recipe for the sauce I see under those avocado wedges. Can you please share that information as well?
Great question, that is a chipotle mayo. Here is a recipe you can use. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/sliders-with-chipotle-mayonnaise-recipe.html
These little fried avocado look simply incredible! I bet they are DELICIOUS! I am so making this! 🙂
Yay enjoy!!
Fried avocado on its own is already delicious but pairing it with crab salad is genius. What a great way to elevate a classic crab salad!
These avocado wedge crab salads look and sound so utterly amazing!
I have been thinking about these ever since I saw them a couple days ago! They just look so amazing.
This is just gorgeous! I have never tried crab salad before, but I am craving this right now! And I just had breakfast! Second breakfast maybe?
Sure! 2nd breakfast. I love that idea 🙂
I am so excited to try this! what a terrific summer recipe
Mouthwatering! A lovely summer dish.
Cheers,
Rosa
Hey great looking recipe! Definitely want to make these this weekend! Curious what is the sauce on the plate that the avocados are resting on? I always love extra sauce for of course to dip my food in.
Thank you
Paula

These looks so delicious! I’m a huge fan of avocado. Any tips on egg substitutes for this that might work?
Hi Emma, I have never used any egg substitutes…sorry.
