Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh cooked crab meat
• 1 head romaine lettuce
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 large hard-boiled eggs
• 1 medium English cucumber
• 1 large avocado
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.5 cup black olives
• 0.5 cup Dairy-Free Mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup ketchup
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp hot sauce
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the dairy-free mayonnaise, ketchup, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper until all ingredients are well combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the salad.

Step 2

Rinse and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl as the base.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Peel the English cucumber and slice it into thin rounds, then add these to the salad.

Step 5

Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs into quarters, and arrange them on top of the salad.

Step 6

Peel, pit, and slice the avocado, and add these slices to the salad.

Step 7

Thinly slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the salad for added flavor.

Step 8

Slice the black olives and scatter them across the top.

Step 9

Gently toss the crab meat with half of the prepared dressing, ensuring each piece is coated. Then, arrange the dressed crab meat over the top of the salad.

Step 10

Serve the salad family-style, or divide into individual plates. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad, or serve on the side to let guests add according to their taste.
