Mom's Blue Cheese Dressing
- In a small bowl, crumble the blue cheese.
- Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together.

Crawfish and Shrimp Stuffed Avocado Salad
- Using a sharp knife, cut the avocado in half. Twist to separate the two halves. Slip a soup spoon between the meat of the avocado and the skin, and the meat will lift out. Save the skin. Take the same sharp knife and hit the blade sharply in the center of the pit. Twist the knife slightly, and the pit will come right out. Use the skin from the first half to remove the pit from the knife. Remove the skin from the second half as well. Put each half on a separate plate or bowl.
- Put asparagus spears on either side of each avocado half. Pour the marinade on the asparagus.
- Stuff the avocado halves nicely with the shrimp and crayfish. Put the remaining nicely on the sides.
- Spoon blue cheese dressing on top of the seafood and avocado.
- Serve chilled.

Marinated Asparagus
This will serve 4 regular people or 2 asparagus lovers. Dressing
You can find Angostura bitters in the liquor section of your supermarket.
Please do not use pre-crumbled blue cheese – you will pay more for it. Just get your blue cheese by the wedge. It is important to use real sour cream, without any gelatin or other fillers. You may omit the pepper if you wish.
