    Dungeness crab Louie salad with eggs, avocado and creamy dressing

    Sweet Dungeness crab piled over crisp lettuce with tomato, egg, and a creamy Louie dressing.

    A West Coast classic

    Born in San Francisco but perfected with Dungeness crab up and down the coast — a cool, composed salad with a tangy pink dressing.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Whisk all the dressing ingredients together until smooth; chill.
    2. Arrange the lettuce on a platter or in bowls.
    3. Pile the crab in the center and arrange the tomatoes, eggs, avocado, and cucumber around it.
    4. Drizzle generously with the Louie dressing and serve cold.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Gently pick over the crab for shells without breaking the lumps. The dressing is classic — don't skip the chili sauce.
