1
Crabmeat Maison:
2
Combine egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice in mixing bowl, and whisk together (until well combined); whisk in oil slowly until emulsified (this might work better in food processor, but I did by hand).
3
Fold in capers, parsley, and onions, and season with salt and pepper. Chill for 2 to 4 hours.
4
Shortly before serving, gently fold in crabmeat, taking care not to break any of the lumps; set aside.
5
Stuffed Avocado Salad:
6
Slice the avocados lengthwise, and remove the pits. Peel and set the 8 halves aside.
7
Create a bed of lettuce on 8 chilled plates. Nest the avocado halves in the center of the lettuce covered plates.
8
Evenly divide the Crabmeat Maison into the cavities of the avocados, forming little mounds.
9
Add a wedge of the tomato to each plate, and drizzle with the Creole Mustard Vinaigrette.
10
Serve immediately.
