Salad Base

Crab Cakes

Bacon Vinaigrette

Method

Prepare the Crab Cakes

  1. 1

    Make the Crab Cake Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the crab meat, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, egg, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Crab Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the crab cakes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the Bacon Vinaigrette

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.

  2. 4

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a bowl, whisk together the reserved bacon grease, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Crumble the bacon and mix it into the vinaigrette.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Cut the wedge lettuce into quarters and arrange them on a serving platter. Halve the marinated tomatoes and place them around the lettuce.

  2. 6

    Add the Eggs and Avocado

    Slice the hard-boiled eggs and avocado. Arrange them over the salad base.

  3. 7

    Top with Crab Cakes and Vinaigrette

    Place the cooked crab cakes on top of the salad. Drizzle the bacon vinaigrette generously over the entire salad before serving.
