Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Jumbo lump crab meat
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 large Avocado
- 8 spears Asparagus
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Prepared horseradish
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the romaine lettuce thoroughly, dry it, and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove them and immediately place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking. Pat them dry and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs into quarters. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin slices.
Prepare the Louis dressing by combining mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste. Chill the dressing until ready to use.
To assemble the salad, arrange a bed of romaine lettuce on a large serving platter or individual plates.
Top the lettuce with the crab meat, cherry tomatoes, hard-boiled egg quarters, avocado slices, and asparagus pieces, arranging them in sections or evenly across the salad.
Drizzle the Louis dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for guests to add as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and flavorful Crab Louis Salad.
