CRAB LOUIS
This is a chilled salad invented by a Seattle chef-and I feel like that makes sense. It had to be a chef that had a ton of fresh seafood around that would create a dish like this. Honestly, it's a bit elaborate, but it's wonderful because it manages to be both casual and fancy at the same time. The sauce has a tingle of heat and some sweetness, too. It's almost like a slightly creamy cousin of shrimp cocktail, but with crabmeat.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, half the scallions and a pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning.
- For the crab: Spread the crab out on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining scallions and half the chives. Drizzle with the sauce to taste. Do not mix.
- To plate: Arrange the lettuce leaves as cups in a circle on a large plate. Disperse the tomatoes around the lettuce. Spoon some of the crab into each lettuce cup. Top each cup with an egg quarter and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the remaining chives and a squeeze of lemon. Hold in the refrigerator until ready to serve and enjoy cold.

I love Crab Louis and this version from Sunset Favorite Recipes sounds good. Times do not include cooking the crab or eggs.

Steps:
- Using your finger, carefully pick through the crab and discard any bits of shell or hard cartilage. Try to leave the lumps as intact as possible. Put the meat in a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, bell pepper, lemon juice, 1/2-teaspoon salt, scallion, a couple dashes Worcestershire, and hot sauce. Season the dressing with pepper to taste.
- Gently fold about 1/4 cup of the dressing into the crab with a rubber spatula. Take care not to break the crab into smaller pieces. Put the crab salad and the dressing in the refrigerator until cold.
- Meanwhile, put the hard-boiled egg in a fine sieve set over a bowl. Using the back of a spoon, rub the egg through mesh to make a fine textured garnish. Set aside.
- Divide the lettuce leaves among 4 plates. Top each with a tomato slice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place an avocado quarter across each tomato slice and top with 1/4 of the crab mixture. Spoon some of the dressing over the crab and sprinkle each salad with some of the egg. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.

Steps:
- On 4 luncheon-size plates, make beds of lettuce. Mound crab on top. Combine dressing ingredients and spoon over crab, then garnish each plate with tomatoes and hard-cooked eggs.

MOCK CRAB LOUIS SALAD FOR TWO
Found the original recipe in Cooking for Two Magazine by Alice Cibulka. I have added a few ingredients and it is a quick and easy refreshing salad for two! I serve on lettuce leaves or serve on chopped lettuce. This along with some bread makes a light and delicious lunch or dinner. Chill time is cooking time.
