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. Top with a light scattering of fresh herbs, minced chives, lemon zest and flaky sea salt. Serve each avocado half with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over the top just before diving in.
