  Whether it's crab or tuna that you use - the amount shown in the picture for this recipe looks woeful! It would surely look much better to scoop out some of the flesh from the avocado and mix that through the crab/tuna - and a dollop of mayo. And hopefully, I've remembered to brush the halved avocadoes well with lemon juice, so they flesh doesn't start to turn brown. I have to say, also, that some garlic and onion would probably help the flavour too.

  This recipe was really easy to prepare and looked fantastic, although initially I thought the mustard was too strong, once it has sat in the fridge for an hour the flavors seemed to blend better. It was light and you could clearly taste all the ingredient, there was nothing heavy about this. I did use more crab than the recipe suggested. I would definitely do this again.

  I really like this recipe - have made it about 4 / 5 times now. The chillie really sets it off. Really good and easy starter for a dinner party. Enjoy !

  Works quite well with cream cheese instead of crab and small lettuce leaves chopped for anyone who doesn't like basil This is lovely as a vegetarian starter.

  There are about 10g carbohydrate in half an advocado alone so I don't know how this has been calculated at 2g carbohydrate per serving!! Does anyone actually check the nutrition on these recipes? People should be wary of relying on the information given on here if they have specific dietary requirements.
