Spicy Avocado:
- ½ avocado, large dice

Method:
For the Preserved Tomatoes:
Blanch and peel tomatoes, and set aside. Combine all liquids and
Thai chili in a sauce pot and bring to a boil. Remove from heat
and let cool. Add tomatoes to the cold liquid and let marinate for
two days.
For the Spicy Avocado:
Mix all ingredients in stainless steel bowl. Do not mix too vigorously
in order to keep avocado coarse.
For the Dressing:
Whisk all ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
For the Alaskan King Crab:
Bring a pan of water to a boil. Place crab leg in steamer basket
and steam over boiling water. Remove crab leg from heat and let
cool. Remove shell and cartilage and cut crab meat into 1- inch
pieces.
To Serve:
Place the avocado, tomato, and crab separately on plate. Drizzle
dressing over the crab first and then over the other ingredients.
Garnish with fresh mixed greens and serve.
