Mix crabmeat with avocado, fennel and grapefruit for a sweet-tangy salad that's perfect for lunch or dinner. Reserved grapefruit juice, honey, and balsamic dressing make a flavorful dressing for this seafood salad. Make sure the fennel is thinly shaved and the avocado diced so you can get more of each in every spoonful. For the best flavor, use the canned crab meat found at the fish counter in your market, the stuff that must stay refrigerated even before opening to maintain its freshness. This is an excellent choice if you're cooking for two and don't want to have any leftovers.
