Avocado Crab Boats Recipe
"When summer comes along, it is always nice to have an easy recipe to prepare with very little cooking. It not only tastes great, but it is so pretty to look at. These boats are great served with tortilla chips, beans or rice. They can also be covered, packed in an ice chest and taken to a picnic or cookout. Straight from the oven or served cold, they are always a winner. —Frances Benthin, Scio, Oregon..."
