Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 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 (from about 1/2 lemon); 1 avocado, preferably Hass; 3/4 pound linguine; 1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked free of shell

Servings: persons

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 (from about 1/2 lemon)
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.
3
Test-Kitchen Tip: As soon as the avocado is diced, put it into the vinaigrette. The acidity of the lemon juice and the vinegar will keep the avocado from browning if dinner is delayed.
4
Wine Recommendation: An acidic white wine is best with both the tart vinaigrette and the rich avocado. A white from the Loire region in France such as Sancerre (sauvignon blanc grape) or Savennieres (chenin blanc grape) is a good choice.
