CRAB LOUIS DRESSING

THE SALAD

I cannot think of anything that is more typical of a fine lunch in Seattle than a Crab Louis. This is a grand salad, and a properly prepared one is laden with fresh Dungeness crabmeat. You can use other kinds of crabmeat, of course, but I want to stick to my Dungeness.

Mix all of the above together and chill.

Arrange a whole leaf of lettuce on each plate. Use a leaf that is large enough to form a sort of bowl. Put a handful of shredded lettuce in each bowl and then a good serving of crabmeat. Top with sliced eggs, olives, and pepper rings. Pass the Louis dressing and allow your guests to add a bit to their salads.
