Cracked Crab with Herbed Avocado Sauce

This super-simple sauce was inspired by the tarragon tang and beautiful color of green goddess dressing. It's rich yet has a sharp bite and highlights the briny sweetness of crab. Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus 30 minutes resting time).

Sunset DECEMBER 2006

Yield: Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
