Crab Louie Recipe
•Lump crab meat (16 oz=4 salads)
•iceberg lettuce
•tomatoes
•celery
•hard boiled eggs*
•avocado
•cucumbers and/or any other salad fixings
•Louie dressing listed below
Directions
Prepare a nice big plate of lettuce, tomato, chopped celery, and cucumber. Garnish with a quartered boiled egg*, and avocado slices.
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.)
Now for the Louie dressing.
I tried two versions and both were good, but this first one is my favorite.
1 cup •1 cup real mayonnaise
1/4 cup •1/4 cup dill pickle relish
1/4 cup •1/4 cup Sugar Free Ketchup
3 Tablespoons •3 Tablespoons chopped green onions
2 Tablespoons •2 Tablespoons finely chopped bell pepper
2-3 packets •2-3 packets of Truvia or equivalent sweetener
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
2 tablespoons •2 tablespoons finely chopped bell peppers
1/2 from 1/2 lemon
dash •dash of hot sauce such as tabasco
