Crab, Mango, and Avocado Salad with Citrus Dressing

From the kitchen of Carly

Sweet mango and buttery avocado cradle tender crab in a bright citrus dressing, all nested in crisp lettuce leaves. The marinated red onion adds bite, while the orange and lime keep everything light and alive. This is elegant simplicity on a plate.
