Instructions
Begin by preparing the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Rinse and dry the mixed salad greens, then place them in a large serving bowl or platter.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and slice the flesh thinly. Arrange the slices on top of the salad greens.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and quarter the artichoke hearts. Arrange these vegetables evenly over the salad greens.
Pit and slice the kalamata olives, and add them to the salad.
Carefully peel and slice the boiled eggs into quarters, and distribute them over the salad.
Gently break apart the fresh crab meat if there are any large chunks, then evenly distribute the crab over the salad.
Scatter the capers over the top, and sprinkle with fresh dill.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the entire salad just before serving, or serve it on the side.
Toss gently to combine all ingredients before serving if desired. Enjoy your refreshing Mediterranean Diet Crab Louie Salad!
