Crab Louie Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Haricot Verts

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricot verts and cook for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Radishes

    Thinly slice the radishes and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash slightly with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and a drizzle of lemon oil for flavor.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, gently combine the lump crab meat with the remaining lemon oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the avocado mixture on a serving plate, top with the crab mixture, and then add the haricot verts and sliced radishes on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a refreshing salad or appetizer.
