Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon ketchup

  • 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish

  • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder

  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 pinch ground cayenne pepper, or to taste

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 pound cooked Dungeness crabmeat

  • 1 head Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

  • 1 cup sliced English cucumber

  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set it aside. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook in boiling water until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove asparagus and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to cool. Drain and pat dry asparagus well; set aside.

  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, ketchup, relish, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to make dressing.

  3. Combine crabmeat, lettuce, cucumber, and celery in a large bowl. Pour dressing over crabmeat mixture; toss to coat well.

  4. Pile salad evenly onto 4 serving plates; add equal portions of asparagus, avocado, tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs. Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge.
