Crab Louie Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and blanch them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, chop them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggs

    Peel the hard boiled eggs and slice them into quarters.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tomato

    Core the tomato and cut it into wedges.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    On a large plate or salad bowl, arrange the lettuce leaves as a base. Top with the lump crab meat, asparagus pieces, tomato wedges, and egg quarters.

  5. 5

    Dress and Season

    Drizzle the Russian dressing over the top of the salad. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
