These Crab and Quinoa Salad Stuffed Avocados are a wonderful way to eat healthy without losing that satisfaction. This filling and flavorful meal is packed with nutritious ingredients! Makes a great lunch, dinner or snack.
I’m a huge fan of avocados, quinoa AND crab. So I could happily eat these stuffed avocados everyday!
The crab and quinoa salad has a blend of tart lime juice and sour cream. It is the perfect compliment to buttery avocados.
I think the trick to eating {mostly} healthy is to find nutritious foods that you actually enjoy eating. Don’t torture yourself by eating only celery sticks. That is not a lifestyle. You can’t live the rest of your life crunching on celery sticks!
You can have that balance of fresh, flavorful, satisfying and healthy. It is about finding those nutritious foods that you WANT to eat not that you HAVE to eat.
I’m sort of on a tangent here. I just loathe fad diets that have people eating only a few foods. Or the worst, the diets that don’t allow you to eat fruits. What?!?
It’s no way to live. Especially when there are so many delicious and healthy foods out there to choose from, like these Crab and Quinoa Salad Stuffed Avocados!

As I get older, I have begun to find an appreciation for seafood. I used to cringe at anything in the seafood isle of the grocery store, but now I will make salmon for dinner or order crab rolls at a sushi restaurant. This looks like something I would really enjoy. 😀
Mmmm. I love sushi and salmon too!
