So, so good... If you are looking for a good seafood salad that isn't aturated in mayonaisse, then this is a good recipe for you. It has a Tex Mex flavor and hints of a favored dish called cerviche (minus the tomato sauce)

Just made it tonight and it was a big hit with the family. It is very balanced in it's flavors. When I was making it I hesitated to put the olives in because I thought it would detract from the avocado and crab flavor. The olives turned out to be the ingredient that made it great. Great cold summer salad recipe, or take to a party dish.
