Ingredients

3 Tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 Tbsp Tequila
¼ cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
3 avocados
1½ cup fresh cooked corn, cut from the cob (use frozen kernals if fresh is not available)
2 Tbsp red bell pepper, finely diced
1 tsp garlic, minced
¼ cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup fresh lump crab meat, picked of all shell
⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp hot sauce
1 Tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

Instructions

Combine tequila, lime juice, olive oil, salt, hot sauce and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl.

Peel and small dice the avocado, quickly placing the avocado in the lime juice mixture and tossing well so avocado is well coated.

Fold in remaining ingredients.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
