Linguine, Crab, and Avocado with Scallion Vinaigrette Recipe

  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
  • 2 scallions, white and light-green parts chopped, dark-green tops sliced
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup cooking oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1 avocado, preferably Hass
  • 3/4 pound linguine
  • 1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked free of shell
  1. In a blender, combine the ginger, lemon juice, vinegar, the chopped scallions, the soy sauce, oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Blend until smooth, then stir in the lemon zest. Cut the avocado into 1/2-inch dice and add to the scallion vinaigrette.
  2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss it with the vinaigrette and avocado and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gently fold in the crabmeat. Sprinkle with the sliced scallion tops. Serve warm.
