In a small bowl, combine the crab meat, lime zest, coriander and shallot. To make the dressing, mix the lime juice, buttermilk, Tabasco and mayonnaise in a small jug. Season well.
Divide the salad leaves, tomatoes and avocado halves between 2 plates. Fill each avocado with the crab mixture, then drizzle over the dressing.
