Salads


Sauce Louis:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4 scallions, minced

Kosher salt
Crab and Plating:
2 cups (about 1 pound) cleaned, cooked lump or jumbo lump crab meat, chilled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small bunch chives, minced
1 head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup cherry tomatoes, preferably Sweet 100, or grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and quartered
1 large lemon, sliced, for squeezing

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, crab is to fragile for that.

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.
