Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh crab meat
• 4 cups romaine lettuce
• 4 hard-boiled eggs
• 1 avocado
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium cucumber
• 0.5 cup black olives
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup (sugar-free)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling 4 eggs. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes before transferring them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel and quarter the eggs.

Step 2

While the eggs are boiling, prep the vegetables. Chop 4 cups of romaine lettuce, halve 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, peel and slice 1 medium cucumber, and slice 1 avocado.

Step 3

In a large salad bowl, arrange the romaine lettuce as a base.

Step 4

Evenly distribute the quartered eggs, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, avocado slices, and 0.5 cup of black olives over the lettuce.

Step 5

Top the salad with 1 pound of fresh crab meat, gently distributing it across the salad.

Step 6

To make the dressing, combine 0.5 cup of sour cream, 0.5 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of sugar-free ketchup, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 0.5 teaspoon of hot sauce in a small mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth.

Step 7

Season the dressing with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, adjusting to taste as needed.

Step 8

Drizzle the dressing over the salad or serve it on the side for individual preference.

Step 9

Toss the salad gently if preferred to coat the ingredients with the dressing or leave it arranged for a more traditional presentation.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing, low-carb meal.
