Herbed Mayonnaise Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp tomato puree

Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, tarragon, chervil and chives. Add just enough tomato puree to give dressing a pourable consistency and delicate color. Set aside.
To make salad, cut avocados in halves and remove seeds. Flake crabmeat and combine with hot pepper sauce, celery and enough mayonnaise to moisten.
