Here on the west coast, Dungeness crab season starts around November and ends in June. We had this salad when we visited the town of La Jolla, just a little north of San Diego and it was one of the best salads I had ever eaten. Stacked with layers upon layers of crab, avocado and mango. Every bite was better than the one before.
Note: You can either purchase the crab meat or buy a live crab, although it takes some effort to prep. For full instructions on how to clean and cook the crab, click here.
