In a medium bowl, combine crab with mayo, 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest, mustard, celery, one teaspoon chives, red pepper flakes, and a generous grind of black pepper.

Step 2

Slice each avocado in half, and remove the pits. Brush the avocado flesh with lemon juice. Scoop the crab salad into the avocado halves.
