I wanted to make pasta-like dish using crab and avocado as topping ingredients, and rutabaga for the noodles. I decided to create a green onion vinaigrette sauce that complements the delicate crabmeat and creamy avocado, making a lovely, quick main dish that's also for a weekday night or even an elegant first course for a bigger dinner.
