Ingredients

• 8 ounces fresh Dungeness crab meat
• 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
• 3 large hard-boiled eggs, quartered
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 medium avocados, sliced
• 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and blanched
• 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup (sugar-free)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Blanch the asparagus by bringing a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook for about 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and pat dry.

Step 3

In a large salad bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, blanched asparagus, sliced cucumbers, and red onions.

Step 4

Arrange quartered hard-boiled eggs and sliced avocados on top of the salad bed.

Step 5

Gently mix in the fresh Dungeness crab meat, making sure not to break it apart too much.

Step 6

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad, or serve it on the side.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.

Step 8

Toss everything gently just before serving to mix the flavors without destroying the delicate crab.
