Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients for the vinaigrette, except the oil, in a blender or in a cup with a stick blender. Briefly blend to combine. With the blender running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream to emulsify. Season the tomato slices with salt & pepper. In separate bowls toss the cucumber ribbons and the greens with a small amount of the vinaigrette to lightly coat. Using a ring mold, place the tomato slices in the bottom, top with the cucumber, then the greens, followed by a layer of the crab and top with the sliced avocado. Season the avocado with salt. Place a small amount of the vinaigrette on the plate and place the watermelon cubes around the plate.
