Ingredients

• 6 ounces Imitation crab meat
• 4 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 2 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 1 medium Avocado
• 0.5 medium Cucumber
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing all the salad components: chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and distribute evenly between two large salad bowls.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowls.

Step 3

Peel and slice the cucumber into thin half-moons and divide evenly into the bowls.

Step 4

Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs, arranging them on top of the salads.

Step 5

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh. Place avocado slices on top of each salad.

Step 6

Shred the imitation crab meat into smaller pieces if desired and divide it between the two bowls.

Step 7

Next, prepare the Louis dressing. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, prepared horseradish, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.

Step 8

Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings if needed. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add a small splash of water or lemon juice and whisk again.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing over each salad just before serving, or serve the dressing on the side for dipping.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Mock Crab Louis Salad for Two!
