4 16 with roughly 4 oz of crab meat (not imitation). (I buy the 16 tub of blue crab from Sams Club in the refrigerated meats section, but I know some people use canned crab meat. I haven't tried it yet.)

1 •1 boiled egg mashed with a fork*
Combine in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate. Serve a generous amount over crab louie salad.
to Note * I tried this salad with the hard boiled egg on the salad or in the crab louie dressing, and I preferred it smashed into the dressing, but I included both ways for you to try.
Alternative Louie Dressing - spicy
1 cup •1 cup real mayonnaise
1/4 cup •1/4 cup chili sauce (such as the kind found in the Asian section of the market.)
3 tablespoons •3 tablespoons of chopped green onions
