How to Make Crab Louie Salad

  1. **Make the Louie Dressing:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1/4 cup chopped green olives, and 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  2. **Prepare the Salad Base:** Wash and crisp 1 large head of iceberg lettuce. Tear into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a large platter or individual serving plates.
  3. **Assemble the Salad:** Arrange 1 pound of crab meat (real or imitation) over the lettuce. Top with 1 ripe avocado, diced; 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved; and 1 cup cooked asparagus spears.
  4. **Drizzle & Serve:** Generously drizzle the Louie dressing over the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy!
